We’ve talked a bit about several projects we’ve been working on involving child care and trades training in and around Mwanza. We’ve supplied training, sewing machines and other equipment to Florah Magabe’s Wanawake ne Hatamu school and over at the Kalwande training school the first group of tradesmen have completed the first of the two week programmes in various trades that we’ve helped develop and fund. They’ve been using tools supplied by our Mwanza workshop as well as some motor bikes and push bikes that we were able to help them acquire through our local fund raising efforts (thank you, everyone).

The students had some very nice shirts (and that was a nice surprise) and there was cake! Ms. Magabe was on hand with the press and tells us that a documentary film is coming too, so stay tuned.

Our ‘container 16’ has more equipment loaded that will be heading to both these training centres and the Dar es Salaam Institute of technology in Mwanza.  It is nearly full to bursting with tools and sewing machines that will be heading to rural villages all around the lake zone as well. It should be leaving for Mwanza very soon.
