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

Writing with a burning hand!

Time moves extravagantly slowly in Kazo, perhaps in Africa as a whole. Every day seems to consist more than merely twenty four hours. When the weather is hot and humid, I feel not to move so the time is spent in counting seconds; when it is chill and the wind is blowing, I tend to take up a novel, laying on the seat in front of the centre, enjoy some of my private time and world. I still have not finished my novel though it is long and interesting. I always read two or three chapters before I go to sleep with great tiredness, but revived imaginations.

My hand has shown no signs of getting better, but it can move freely if not naturally. I gave up updating the website for today due to the slowness of the Internet, instead, I decided to write a new post on my blog, explaining things which have not been written down.
Two volunteers from Brita lom have started working with us twice a week from this Monday. They came in the morning and left at around four in the afternoon. One of the ladies was keen on Children's activities, so we arranged lots of kids in the centre taking part in her activities; another one was interested in visiting families in the community, so I sent some local volunteers to assist her in carrying out her job. They have worked fantastically and really brought some fresh and amazing air into the centre-new activities for the kids.

John and I went to visit several school this afternoon, trying to establish some partnerships. We got to know in the end that all kindergartens and primary schools will start their terms in two weeks time. The ladies from Brit olam nay have to work with the kids in the centre for another two weeks before they can be transferred to some local schools.

I have got two young puppies yesterday afternoon from a local lady. They were so lovely and noisy. The problem was they were to young to be manually fed and they barked all through the night to look for their mum. I woke up once each hour during the night, trying in vain to calm them down. In the end, I put them into the box they came with, and locked them into another room where the noise they made could barely be heard from where I slept. I went there to see them this morning and found them sweetly sleeping. However, I, under many people's persuasion, finally decided to send them away since I will not spend another night torturing myself in the same way.

The construction of the chicken factory has been moving swiftly. I hope it will be finished in two days' time for the best. Madame Josephine consulted with some companies today where she found out that the earliest time at the moment of getting six hundred broilers is in late October. I hope we will have some luck in tomorrow's trying.

Did I mentioned though I burned my hand, people enjoyed my cooking?
My Guests were: Madame Josephine, Buba, Ma Buba, John and Timothy.

That's all for today. I think I should go and read some novels...
