The roof will be in metal sheeting, to let the sunshine in we will put plastic sheet in some places in the roof.
Now, the contractor believes it can be completed in January, if the rain keeps away :) Wow, finally, we say!
It has taken such long time (saying I as I am an impatient person) to first find three different lands to choose from, then to find a land we want and that has the correct ownership papers etc. After that, the bying itself takes time, lawyers, government, buyer and seller to get all documentation done correctly and "bulletproof".
When that was finalized the building itself... well, now we have completed all the "paperwork" and will enter the practicals.

then buy all (ALL! Yeah!) kitchen utensils for the food program at Rubirizi preschool. From
January we will have a kitchen so we can implement a food program in that preschool too,
thank you for assisting, dear sponsors!

Also...

 

we could now "harvest"  60 of the babyplants that our gardener Michel has prepared to be
planted outside Batsinda Salvation Army Hall in Kigali.

Captains Obed and Dyna Tungo are part CHQ staff, but also in charge of  Batsinda Corps.
Now they together with the salvationists will start planting the hedge around the piece of land.

Our gardener will now start a fresh, so we will have new "baby" plants to put in place in
three months time, to cover the big piece of land.

 

can also be visiting Kayenzi Corps (love the flowers) and together with DC and Section
Officer meet local government at the District Office to inform and share ideas for all TSA
work and activities.

needs no comment... :)

can also be to meet with Gituro preschool  parents committee to inform about institutional

support  and empower them to do the very best they can to have all children go to school

can actually mean to be in the office. Today I do a lot of financial stuff, planning for preschool
shopping (books, didactic materials etc) for next term...
Everyday life at the office... can also mean running around for hours (read: days weeks or
months) like a crazy fool trying to find all that material, because it is not always there to be found...

-TEA! ;D

can be, thanks to donors, to visit the piece of land in Rwimiyaga where a multipurpose hall
now will be built. Here the salvationists will meet on Sundays, children and youth from the
community will learn music, playing instruments, how to use mixer and so on. They will
fellowship and discuss conflict management, "remember the past, but strive for a better
future". Here we also hope to have the preschool, John Gowans, when we have enough
funding to provide good classrooms.

can be to be an honorable guest at the end of term celebration, especially in the end of
the school year when all Children receive their transcripts and the six year olds get their
DIPLOMA for completed preschool course, that they then will bring to primary school next year...

-Do we feel blessed?
-Oh, yes, we are so blessed  every day at the office...

 

At least one or two times a week, the children have to go outside due to Community activities like vaccinations, information from local government and so on.

Give preschool education to the Children here and at the same time give a Christmas gift to your friend/family?
  -"Dear grandma, this year I give you a part of a classroom for children at Salvation Army preschool in Rwanda"
Sounds interesting?

If you look around on the blog you can also find other "presents" to give; maybe a contribution to the animal bank, or do a regular sponsorship for a year or so...
