4 June off to Tanzania

Another trip is on the horizon.  Four of us will travel the many miles to the district of Mpwapwa.  This trip is specifically to kick start the next SEEDS project.  We now have two pre-schools up and running with a trained teacher in each.  Three more teachers are being trained and will graduate at the end of this year.  Teachers need to be paid and schools maintained. At present SEEDS is supporting the teachers.   We have therefore trained 5 men from the villages in animal husbandry to breed pigs.  They in turn will train other villagers.  Once piglets are produced in time they will be sold at market and the funds will go into the school bank account to pay the teachers salaries and maintain the schools.  Pork is a favourite meat in Tanzania. Of course this will all take time but the aim is to enable the two villages Chitemo and Nyhinila to become self-supporting and independent of our aid.



A number of supporters have sponsored and named a piglet.  If you would like to do so the purchase of a pig is £15.

The story of the 'piglets' will be updated on my return after 20 June.
