- Food and domestic supplies for children at Children Rescue Mission.
- Volunteer allowances for George for August and September 2007
Updates and General Information
1. There is high need to take care of more children. These needs keep arising. Currently there are a total of 11 children taken care of. There are some 4 more children whose cases are extreme and we feel we should include. For all the 4, the additional costs of food and other domestic suppplies per month would be about Kshs. 4,400/= equivalent to Kshs. 17,600/= per quarter.
Thanks so so much for the support towards school supplies for the children. We bought uniforms and shoes for the kids yesterday and from tommorow they will be really smart and more motivated to attend school. We told them it came from GlobalEyes and they have passed lots and lots of thanks. The wire transfer for the school suppplies microgoal was Kshs. 32,064/=.
We managed to bring back the new boy called Mege who had run away. He was councelled and now seem to be having changed attitude.
Unfortunately, one of the kids called Frank (he was among those whose videos were taken) was single parent orphan and has lost the other parent (a week ago), becoming total orphan.
The children are now total housed within the compound of Tropical Focus and this place seem to be better for them than the previous place.
An official from Government's Children's Department visited Children Rescue Mission and gave us go ahead to forward our applications for registration. We are now processing needed documents including health certificates, crime free certificates for staff and such others.
Schools would be soon closing but for Dago Thim, we can work on the latrine even during holidays because Caren is the headmistress and easy to reach any time.
