Food for the hungry
By Allison Le Dune | Project Leader

The boy's project is continuing to efficiently run with good attendance.
In past reports you may have noted that the boys were keen to stay for morning sessions but were often unable to attend afternoons. This was due to the fact that they had no means to feed themselves at lunchtime other than begging and when this happened they would only too often get caught up with their old gangmasters.
Thanks to the generosity of the German charity - Kinderhilf - this issue has been resolved and the boys are being fed on site.
We are really looking forward to visiting them in early November (ebola permitting) as well as some of our water projectsin the region.
Thanks to your gift these young men have been offered a way out of poverty and given a fresh hope for their future.

New Location for Street Boys Project
By Allison Le Dune | Project Leader
The street boy project continues to be successful, so much so that a garage is being set up in a seperate location for the maintenance of motor bikes. Students are very excited that the work is expanding and those working on the project expect to see an increse in both interest and numbers in the next academic year
The boys still find it difficult to believe that they are recieving this education for free as they are used to living a life where everything has a price. Many of them have never recieved kindness or affirmation which has resulted in a deficit of self worth.
Those that work on staff are committed to building the boys up and encouraging them to believe in themselves and their ability.
We will be visiting the project in November so will have first hand information for you then. Once again thenk you for your donations and support.

Solar Powered Street Boys!
By Allison Le Dune | Project Leader

Although we haven't visited the project since our last report our workers tell us that your donations are enabling students to develop their work. Frames are being produced by the boys in the metalwork department for solar powered units. This is an additional area of training development which is useful as the market for these panels is increasing.
The boys are also producing door frames and window frames for housing and businesses. Profit made from sales of these products will be used to buy more equipment and further staff the facility.
Our hope is that this will eventually enable the project to become self sustainable.
Retention of students in the afternoon teaching sessions is still a problem but we are hoping that this wil lbe resolved as staff apply a variety of strategies to encourage students to attend.
Once again thank you for your support.
