Zimbabwe
New Year News
School fees for Zimbabwe arrived with our friends at Bere
Brothers Legal Practitioners in Mutare. They are disbursing
funds to the eight schools we are currently helping.
These schools are in the Mutare and Mutasa districts of
Zimbabwe. They are in the Eastern Highlands which run along
the border with Mozambique. Mutare is the third largest city
in Zimbabwe and is just a few minutes drive from the border
crossing into Mozambique. |
Kenyan school relocated
The school at Moi’s Bridge moved onto its new site
completely at the start of January. This was a few months
earlier than planned. The rented accommodation being used
was sold by it’s owners and the school given notice to move
out. By the end of January the Gift Aid reclaimed tax
arrived and meant that the extra classroom needed to
accommodate the move could be finished. By the time you read
this we trust that classes will be being taught in it.
Below is a photo of the classroom under construction.
Maize and
Beans
Last years Maize and bean harvest from the land rented a few
kilometres outside Moi’s Bridge yielded enough money to
replant and leave enough to pay a tenth of the staffing
costs for the school for the full year. This years bean and
maize is due to be planted anytime now. They are planting
double the amount of land this year. Let’s hope we get a
good harvest in October.
