ECEV News Update 2008 - 2009

It was a good year. Here's what happened:

Bought one leg for a man in Ngonga who needed one, obviously. He's a farmer with a wife and five kids who is very happy with his new left leg. Cost: $300 USD.
Painted twelve classrooms: one in Itili, three in Soweto, four in Kyela, one in Mahongo, two in Mantanji and one in Chunya. Cost about $4500 USD.
Paid final year of nursing school for Edina, a preschool teacher with four kids whi will make much better money as a nurse. Cost: $500 USD.
Helped get four boys from Idweli settled into jobs. We put them through carpentry school then found them jobs with a friend who has an orphanage and needs laborers. We supplemented their income while they learned the job and now they are on their own. Good for them. Cost: $150 USD
Continuing payment for Martha Julias and Christina Kawanga at St Agrey Secondary School. Cost: $3000 USD. We paid in advance for 2009. Chris has a 6-year old son, and we pay his nursery school fees as well.
Continuing payment for Ahadi, Rama, Rose and Violet, four orphans from Idweli who attend the local secondary school. Cost: $960 USD. Paid for 2009 in advance as well.
We've been supplementing Dr. Kwita's medical supplies for over a year, totalling $1800 USD this year.
Sent Dr. Kwita to advanced training in Ifakara. Cost: $300 USD.
Had Erica's fistula fixed. She no longer leaks. Cost: about $500 USD for operation, transport and caregiver during her stay.
$5000 USD sent to Burundi, where the school is almost finished. We started with two rooms and went to six rooms plus teachers office. All that remains is the roof.
$1000 USD to Shukrani Secretarial College in Soweto. My friends run this school and they have a very good reputation for turning out employable graduates.
Paid for four men to take night classes to finish secondary school. Cost: $400 USD.
We have given John Chota, our artist, steady work for this year, and he will work while I am in America. Cost included in classrooms.
Came in 2nd place in the early childhood development division during Nanenane celebration. Cost: $150 USD
Paid for Carlee's plane fare so she could work for free this year. She is a huge assett, and will keep working after I've left. Cost: $2150 USD.
Books and medical supplies donated to various clinics.
