Mountains of work done - 11 October

We were given a free 2,500 m² plot at the edge of the village and had 16,000 bricks baked to start building a school/community building.

Big news: because the entire community believes in us, we were given a large plot of no less than 2,500 m² at the edge of the village for free - previously owned by the parents of our adopted twins Benjamin and Bright.

This week we had 16,000 bricks baked and bought to start building a school/community building with storage and a small office. This had to happen now, because there are only two months a year when there is enough clay and it is dry enough. The bricks are stacked to form an oven, which is fired with wood to harden them.

We are also negotiating for 4,000 m² of farmland. And this month, once again, we were able to provide the most vulnerable people in the village of Kande with their basic necessities - we select strictly: broken families, people with disabilities, AIDS patients, orphans and grandmothers with grandchildren.

Playground

The basic structure of the school is almost finished. We have now started laying out the garden and play area next to the school (see the drawing below). In the garden, the schoolchildren will have a place of their own to eat. We are also creating a small playing field where the village children can play football and volleyball together. We have planted young fruit trees all around the grounds. That way we want to make sure that in a few years' time, when the trees are fully grown, the children can enjoy their own fruit from the school garden.

Cheap Money

Thanks to Rex, from now on we can do more with every euro donated to our foundation. Rex is a socially engaged local importer in Malawi who helps us exchange euros for Malawian kwacha. When we transferred money through regular banks, we received about 1,800 kwacha for one euro. Because of high inflation, however, the real value at the time was around 3,000 kwacha per euro. When we discovered that this made exchanging money through the bank a bad deal for us, we went looking for a sustainable and practical solution. Through his import business, Rex has kwacha available and was willing to exchange our euros at a rate of 1 euro = 3,000 kwacha. As a result, the same donation gives us around 66% more local funds for our projects in Mbamba Village Kande. This way we can make the best possible use of donations for education, food and local development.
