I am pleased to report that we have completed Phase 1 within our budget. Well under 5% has been spent on “administration” with all the rest going directly to the building work. The local community has greatly helped with free labour. However, we still need funding for the Second Phase of building starting in May 2008 after the rains, so please help if you can either through our secure on-line donation page or by mail using the Gift Aid form, I promise that the absolute maximum will again go to work on the ground.
