Updates and General Information
1. We have been visiting households of individuals affected by post election conflicts and found them in real pathetic states, especially those who lost their source of income through burnt places of employment, displaced employers and lost and injured providers of the households. I hope what is raised will provide some relief to them.<br /><br />2. Dago Thim Primary school latrine construction already began. We visited them on 15th Jan and found about 20 feet of the pit already dug (see some photos attached). The full depth will be 30 feet and we expect this to be done by Monday 21st Jan. Caren also already bought sand and ballast. Bricks and other materials are however not yet bought. Our plan was to buy this next week, hopefully if situation in the country will not be too bad. Schools opened on Monday but pupils were told not to report during the 3 days of demonstrations.<br /><br />3. We bought materials for wiring of the building housing Tf and CRM on Monday 14th Jan and work started immediately. The technicians will probably be through today since only little work was remaining by yesterday evening. <br /><br />4. On finances, out of the wire you sent on 10th (Kshs. 94,828/=), we are only left with about Kshs. 40,000/= for the latrine construction, having spent about Kshs. 15,000/= on CRM food and domestic supplies for Dec, about Kshs. 12,000/= on Tf office running for Dec (see attached sheet), about Kshs. 10,000/= on Pamela Atieno’s support and Kshs. 14,000/= on sand, ballast and labor deposit for digging of latrine pit. <br /><br />I’m not sure if Margee sent some cash as she had mentioned but we checked our bank latest on 15th Jan but there was no credit yet. From 16th to 18th Jan we were/will not be able to check due to demonstrations.<br />
