An Announcement from the Management

To all friends who have or have not worked with us,

Please do not offer any financial help to anyone who claims to be working with KICVOP, unless you have consulted the management of KICVOP. We have received several cases of our former volunteers offering financial help to youngsters who claimed to be working with us. The money was in the end never recovered and wasted for some personal gains.

Please be also aware that KICVOP will not ask for any financial help from you either through the organisation or our employees. All people who are officially qualified to work with us have been listed on our website: www.kicvop.org

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me,

Email Address: landonmeng@gmail.com

Best regards,

Landon
Programme Coordinator of KICVOP

Not With...

Just don't feel like sleeping when the thoughts today has not yet been put on paper.

The biggest issue today was the chicken factory which had given us a big deficit to fill in and a terrible headache to cope with(I think Mac will understand what I meant by HEADACHE). We have calculated the timbers needed based on their standard sizes, but the actual ones turned out to be not so up to standard. So we have to get more timbers if we want the factory to have a roof. The huge deficit really upset us all. When the sky started to dim, Madame Josephine and I went through the complex budget again trying to cut some costs and save some money to fill in the gap. And we made it after a long discussion and negotiation.

Volunteers' training has been going smoothly. There was one lady called Lilian who talked to 405 community members in just 2 hours time. I did not believe in the beginning and was totally impressed in the end. Tomorrow I  will get up at around six and take a cold shower(this is my biggest nightmare so far have been discovered, so I usually try to get out of my bed as late as possible and take shower even later to let the sun warm up the water box a little bit, though I knew the water was just psychologically warmed up when I started gaining strength as the day goes). I will then go and oversee the mobilisation. Tomorrow will be of great importance for the final number of participants in the HIV test on Friday. We need to have the factory built by the end of tomorrow, so I need probably to go to the city as well.

By the way, anyone wants to join my choir which is having practices every Tuesday, from six thirty to eight thirty, and Saturday, from four to six?

I'll post some photos tomorrow...not today...not with this internet speed..not with getting up early tomorrow... not with having to turn on my camera, plugging in the cable and clicking on My Computer to find the drive...not with...you name it!
