Car Boot Load Full of Chickens (Chooks/Kuku)

Well where have we been now? Back to Sumbawanga for a quick visit to see whether our new school attendees are going well and our sisters settling in together. We stayed for one day and two nights and what a whirl-wind visit it was. We were initially hoping to distribute the outstanding portions of the ecclesial fund to all ecclesia’s (wine, biscuits etc) but instead were kept very busy indeed.

We had a talk to the two sisters about strategies for becoming self-sustaining, purchased some mosi nets, beans, hoes (very important), seeds (cabbage, beans, carrots etc), charcoal and chickens (three boys and five girls). The chickens survived the car boot along with the kerosene

Then came the school inspection. We had a look at Godfrey, Eliud, Veronika and Musa's school books, followed by a talk with the Head Teacher. They didn’t do very well in the exams, but overall they are all progressing well considering all the school they have missed. Their behaviour and attitude are excellent.
