Delivery of the second container, February 2010

Again this time to release the container created big problems and it could be cleared only one day before our return trip, but the glow in all the children eyes and the gratitude of the adults was enough compensation for the stress we had.
          
With the donated shoes and clothes we arranged a bazaar, selling the goods at minimal price (45 to 90 cents). From the proceeds we were able to replace the run down roof of the nursery school. Through this activity the locals learned a good lesson of “empowerment to self help” and were very happy about it. A great demand for a future bazaar exists (even though just the thought of it makes us break out in a sweat) and we sure will arrange another one. These proceeds we would like to invest in sanitary facilities for the school.

The school and nursery school received tables, chairs, desks and black boards as well as paper, folders, exercise books and writing utensils.

The local hospital of Nungwi we provided with urgently needed drugs, X-ray equipment, microscopes and a big amount of medical supplies.
 
At the orphanage in Stone Town are currently 54 children living. Their age ranges between newborn and a young man at the age of 23.There we dispensed children clothes, shoes, toys, pushchairs, exercise books and writing utensils.

Urgently needed are beds, sheets and pillows, also old bicycles would be helpful.
