January 2008

A warm welcome into a new year to you all, thank God we all made it.

Just to give you an update of the project progress:

Festive Season:
We had a very good festive season and all the workers were happy as they got some rest and spent some time with their families.

Cement:
We had 600 bags of cement delivered and the remaining 600 we shall advise them when we need it delivered.

Ground Breaking Ceremony:
We are planning to have a Ground Breaking Ceremony on the 12th of April 2008, where the land will be blessed by the Archibishop of Harare. Amongst the invited guests will be The Italian Ambassodor, The Mayor of Chegutu, the Member of Parliament, other local people who are helping in the realisation of the project, the oratory children, their parents and local business representatives. The ceremony will start with Mass, some speeches and tree planting. The end of the ceremony will be marked by a lunch at a local hotel, the owner of this hotel which is the biggest in Chegutu offered the hospitality for free, a big thank you.

Challenges:
The greatest challenge we have had in these days is the rain, we have had so much rainfall such that many areas are flooded.
