There were just three of us on the trip, so it was more a case of getting things done than of doing things (but paying locals to do things helps the local economy!). Some of the things:
- Visited the vegetable garden, and gave more seeds
- Held a knitting class, and gave more wool
- Put a fence around the school, to keep the animals out
- Put a toilet in the schoolyard
- Put swings and a see-saw in the schoolyard
- Cleared the jiggers, and gave clothes and shoes to all the children
- Held crafts classes for the children
- Re-roofed another two houses in the village
- Brought food parcels and clothes to elderly people living alone
- Arranged for a nurse to visit the village fortnightly, in addition to the monthly doctor’s visit. Gave more medicines
- Bought malaria testing kits for the clinic
- Visited all the schools where we have sponsored children
