Update on village projects

Updated news from Serere - email received from Denis Omiat 3rd January 2011

Dear Lois,

Here is a resume of the plans for the village projects for the coming year and update on existing projects.



1. Plan for this year is to harvest rain water for the clinic and chicken projects.

2. We have planned to construct a simple visitor's house that will provide decent accommodation for our vistors.

3. On closing our books at end of 2010, we had saved 700,000/= from the chicken project, and we were able to purchase two oxen for cultivation next season - by growing our own maize, we will produce our own high quality chicken feed, and possibly sell some of the excess feed to local farmers.

4. The health centre is doing well & we have been in a position to recruit one enrolled nurse and also a laboratory assistant to do a few essential tests. We expect support from the Ministry of Health as we continue with our work.

For now, I have been working on a project work plan for the next financial year and I will soon let you have a look when it's completed.

Thanks for now - I am taking a bus back to university, but will pass by to see Edith and John on Tuesday in Kampala, before proceeding to Bushenyi.

Stay in His grace.
Denis
