Now that water has been divined, Colette continues
to report the newest events happening in Kandale,
"ABCD training went really well. We started on May 1 and concluded yesterday on May 10. Some participants from Kalonda, Kinshasa, and Aten Idiofa left yesterday evening but others from Mukedi, Kamayala , Kahemba and Ndjoko Punda will leave today. Exams d’état started so we had to continue the training under the shade of the mavu tree in the REVE Kandale compound so students could use the multipurpose center."
"To tell the truth the students and delegate felt like they own the multipurpose center. They just came and occupied the building without asking us if we were done students looked so happy and proud of the conditions in which they take their exams. As usual I always hear from those delegates who comes here for the first time and how impressed they are with the multipurpose center and tukuls. Unfortunately the tukuls were full so there was no room for the delegates."
"People are coming from far away 7-12km on bicycles or motorcycles to fetch water. They are calling it water of life. it is amazing. Solar training continues. It was extended to allow time to buy the right circuit breakers in Kinshasa. Overall it is going well. The training on composting and continuing gardening is still going on well. I will send photos. I brought in Newton to help with photos and he’s doing a fantastic job. Without him we would not have managed. He camped out all night long with the drilling team until they found water at 3.59am and he took photos."
"Paint job started today May 14, 2023. James from Uganda wrote, he has arrived safely home. Tournament starts on May 20. The teams are excited. We are cutting down from 22 to 16 teams."
We will continue to update you as we receive more information from Colette.
