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

A Short Note Before I Leave for Town

Two Israeli volunteers came to the centre this morning as scheduled. The room is filled with kids now doing paintings, crafting and sports activities. Tal, one of the volunteers is keen on family visiting. She has been so dedicated on the job she was assigned and could not wait but going to the community once she arrived.

I'm going to town to prepare fund for the drinkers, feeders and other facilities for the chicks which will be brought here on Sep, 7. Madame Josephine has gone to consult the price of the chicken mash. We will do the final calculation this early evening I suppose.

Michal has told us a potential business deal for the women group, which makes beads, from Israel. I will do the assessment tomorrow no the group's production. Maybe several other products may be added to their production line. All of the ladies who are in the women group are from extremely poor background and most of them are very active in what they do. I'll meet them tomorrow to see what I can do for them, for the business and all of us.

I have given my laptop to John two days ago to help him with his job as a DJ. He was so happy, so was his uncle who is the manager of the club in which John works. His uncle asked me yesterday after John briefed him about what I did, "do you have a religion?" I said no after a short hesitation(It is very rare in Uganda for a person not to have a religion). "But you are a good man," the gentleman concluded after hearing my answer. Then he hugged me.

By the way, John earned 20000 Uganda shillings two days ago working just for two hours with his new laptop. Lucky Guy!!
