Well we are ‘up and running’ full steam ahead again with regards to the Greenhouse. You might remember the water was cut off for sometime and I have not been able to get any communications from Hon. Rachael Nyamai MP for a couple of months. I rang her, she answered, said she was in a meeting and would ring back, that was two months ago. My subsequent emails have gone unanswered……so frustrating! However in speaking with Daniel last night he said they have had water once a week but then for whatever reason they had water for a ‘whole’ week and Daniel wisely filled both the 10,000 litre tanks, so he is very happy. Subsequently he told me that he went ahead and planted tomatoes and these are the crops below:
This means they will now have an income to pay the Nursery school teacher. I had sent money over for the children’s breakfast and lunches and for the teacher for the first term’s tuition.
The toilet (or long drop) as it is known has been finished as to the incinerator pit. Daniel received an itemised list from the doctor regarding medical supplies, which if you remember, Hon. Rachael Nyamai said the Government would provided once we built the centre and registered it. Apparently we cannot register it until she gives us a letter of authority to take to Nairobi!
The doctor said we have to access a nurse ourselves……still trying.
I am displaying the list of medical items they require. I am trying to decide if we can access them freely here then send them over, via someone, otherwise I shall send the money for Daniel to purchase them there. The total cost is Ksh 26,100.00 which is approximately A$348.00. I still have some funds however I was hoping we might have access via a medical supplier. Daniel wrote: The doctor said after the purchase of this items they would be in a position to reply on way forward,they also said since this is a community based facility the comunity is suposed to faccilitate the nurse.Thanks for the continued support
