Lutusyo

In November we have celebrated opening of new beautiful 4 classroom building and 1 teacher office.

Lubaga handover ceremony

In Lubaga, we completed already a 3-classroom building in 2015.  Now, another 2 classroom-building could be handed over. 

Kajunjumele Handover ceremony

Finally, after more than one and a half years, they completed this 2-classroom building.  We found out that 2 villages were sending their children to this school, but they had a fall-out over the contributions they had to make for the labor.

Kapamysia handover ceremony

This morning, we were invited to the residence of Minister Mwakyemba, where yesterday the funeral of his late wife Lina took place.

The funeral of Mrs. Lina Mwakyembe

We met Dr. Harrison Mwakyembe a few months ago on the handover ceremony in Isaka. 

Mbagamoyo handover

Up to now, the pupils of Mbagamoyo had to walk daily some 5-7 kilometers to a school in the neighboring villages.

Lusungo handover ceremony

With only 4 finished classrooms for their almost 300 pupils, these 3 new classrooms are most welcome.

Kasyabone handover ceremony

As the evening started to fall, all the parents were back from their fields, so there were a lot of people present.

Kingili handover ceremony

Today is the day that our unique project reaches the highest levels of power in Tanzania.

Ndobo handover ceremony

Due to the huge delay in the morning at Kilingili, we had to go fast this time.  Ndobo had only 260 pupils. 

Matema handover ceremony

Matema is a village at the northern coast of Lake Nyase.  The beach is a beautiful place to relax.

Mababu handover ceremony

This was a day with mixed feelings.  On one hand we could hand over a much needed 3-classroom buiding to this community, on the other hand we had to tell them that we had to cancel 2 projects for in total 8 extra classrooms.

Njugilo (Rungwe) handover ceremony

The reception was just crazy!  Never experienced something like this.  But it is understandable: this was one of the worst situations we found in all the 135 villages, we are active in. 

Mbaka handover ceremony

Mbaka has less than 300 pupils.  This 4-classroom building with headmaster office is the first decent building in this community.

Ndola handover ceremony

Ndola with it's 320 pupils has in fact not a single really completed classroom. They started up the building, which has now been completed many years ago but they could never bring the money together to complete it.

Sumbi Handover ceremony

Sumbi is a smaller community with some 450 pupils.  The finalisation of this 3-classroom building and a teacher office is a great step forward for them.
