Hi Veronica,

We are well and hope you too are well. Thanks alot for your e-mail. It is quite good to hear that Margee will be coming soon. My pupils are already feeding and quite happy about the meals. Their parents even praise me when we meet out by the road sides. This was really a good idea. There have been a lot of changes on the behaviour of the pupils such as reduced lateness in the afternoons, increased attendance, reduced requests for sick offs, reduced rate of afternoon dozing in class, all which I believe is related to availability of meals to the pupils during lunch time. So we really thank you for this programme.

The books relevant for the Children at the orphanage are mainly text books for maths, english and story books. For 2007, there will be 4 children in class 1, 4 in class 3 and 2 in nursery.

Also thanks for the offer of printer to Tropical focus. It will be quite useful especially once electricity is in place. Again on the feeding programme at my school, we agreed with Tobias that we use the previous funds that were intended for water tank for the Children home for feeding at Obede because the funds for feeding at Obede was to get finished from arround 16th October. Otherwise for the rest of the funds we already withdrew and bought 2 double deck beds, 2 macintosh (for bedwetters) and 2 mosquito nets. This is all I had for now. Hope to communicate next time, Bye. Pass greetings to Margee and the others.
