Festive greetings All!
We are overjoyed to report that the water has been connected to the Mothers Waiting Shelter (MWS):
RUNNING WATER IN THE MWS This was no mean feat, given the severe drought which Zambia is currently experiencing and it comes down to the real professional integrity and skill of Mr Bright Kamanga, Chitambo District Engineer and the MKP Building team.
40 mattresses have been purchased and are ready for collection from Lusaka. Curtain materials and curtain rails are also on order, to be collected with the mattresses.
The donation of bedding, from the Asian Ladies Society, can also be collected at the same time. This donation is being stored with our member Karen Edwards, in Lusaka. She facilitated the donation.
Bedside lockers, chairs and storage cupboards will be ordered from the local Mpepetwe military base today.
Mrs Nina Cardoso, Procurement Officer in the Zambian Government, has been the driving force of the above purchases. She also drove the tendering processes and we are indebted to her immense profession knowledge and skills.
All that now remains, apart from some work to the cooking area, is fire extinguishers and mosquito nets. We hope to get the mosquito nets from. The Ministry of Health.
Then...THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE HELPED....we're done!
