Baby Is 10 Weeks Old And Has Smelly Urine

site Manzamnyama and World Cup

It is winter here at the Wild Coast, which means that we now get three months No more rain. Dry season also means construction time - all are now busy producing bricks, cut straw for the roof, build new huts, etc. Of course we are also hammering again at full steam and saw and paint. Thanks to a generous donation by Mrs Gouw-Beck Zollikofen we can now finally the first building (kitchen and recreation room for campers and volunteers) and finish the first round hut built (as accommodation for volunteers). to build for the round hut we have Tolikile employed, he is the chairman of village council and a trusted and verwantwortungsvolle person. (In the days of the village council, as we so went to the laces because they always talked and talked but never did hear what Tolikile to go to meetings because he was irritated, like us ...) Tolikile us has a budget of about . to build the hut, where the edge 9000, Complete with foundations, wages for workers, brick (which produce the women now), straw for the roof and so on and so forth. So while Tolikile and its work force with the round hut are employed to build Aidan and I finished the kitchen building. Thanks to the unexpected windfall, we were able to buy sheets for the roof, and The special anti-rust paint with the paint must be all plates, plus nails and what else you need. We are working hard because we up on 10 June must have at least the roof finished. FACT: On 11 June marks the World Cup and we want to show the villagers the games. Everyone loves football! And South Africa is, after all of the hosts, South Africa is therefore very excited for the upcoming event. And Aidan came with the great idea of how we inspire the villagers again more for the project and raise awareness of us can. Namely, we have a projector and all related electronic equipment purchased. (Once again, thank you very much, Gouw-Beck - the village people liiiiiiieben be it!) Then we put on a canvas, and show the World Cup. First, the three group matches of South Africa, and then we'll see, according as which teams advance to the next round. But there is nothing for free. Who wants to see the villagers a football game on big screen, must have a ticket. They can buy tickets with us for 15 Rand, OR, they must cooperate with the project. 2 hours work at the project site is a ticket. Or a bundle of straw. Or 10 Erdziegel. Or build to 20 Insert a kraal. 1 large or hardwood fence posts. Those who work all day, get 4 tickets. For each game they want to see them, they need a ticket. Sunday and it works! No sooner had we announced this all already reached the first three guys and wanted to work two hours. Wunderbar! Last week, we now have the projector and all the material collected in Mthatha and after Lubanzi brought to test it. Works well. On Monday, we shall now show Manzamnyama in a movie - free admission for all - is to show the villagers what a beamer and what he does. We have previously declared gigantic TV, but I think most do not quite understand it really what we meant. We hope to come to the film night gaaaaanz many people on the hill to work and to get their tickets! If the World Cup is over, we can use the projector for teaching purposes, show or documentary, or whatever. Everyone loves television. The projector is definitely a crowd puller, and bring all the loose people to a place which is good for us - come to meetings that is usually almost no one.

reports on the film night, and the progress of construction to follow soon ...
