Latest News & Update from Musul in Laikipia, (1/3/08)

(The following update was sent by Daniel Lemolo of MBEKEC on 1 st March, 2008).

Hallo, I hope you are quite ok, likewise to us here in Kenya. Everything has settled and the two (Kibaki & Raila) have come to an agreement.

I’m very glad to hear from you about the progress you made, things here have been on hold since January but they have started showing recovery.

As for one, the government has given us ksh 250000/= in which class three is on the way (at the Sherston Musul Primary School) but the money is not enough as one class cost ksh 400000/= so we hope for well wishers to assist in the completion of this class, the class has already been constructed but things like windows, door, floor, plaster are not there due to lack of money. I have already talked with a lady at Olentile she is going to assist on paying one teacher’s salary starting March this year. Hoping that your sale of jewellery will help another part.

For the toilet and bathroom (at the Cultural Manyatta) they are complete and ready for use.

About MBEKEC progress on beekeeping - we are still waiting for Ennada to provide their funds as I was with them last week at Musul and they assured me they are still waiting the funds from the Bank. Once this is ready they will call me, so I will update you on this when ready,

Also your jewellery order (for the girl-child educational sponsorship project at Musul) these are ready.*

Thank you very much and I hope to communicate now as thing have settled .

Thanks a lot. God bless.


(*NB. It is hoped to collect the new stock of jewellery & have it available for sale in the UK from May 2008 onwards.)
