Following the success of the installation of solar panels in 2012 and the previous acquiring of IT skills in 2011 many pupils from the ‘Tanzania Team’ risked being redundant. However that July we were able to top up IT skills, introduce chess, and more.
A very successful addition was that an Irish girl came along, to the great satisfaction of the Kenyan girls.
The fundraising the participants had done before going to Mvimwa was donated to scholarships for four girls to continue their education at Sumbawanga. Instead of collecting firewood, cleaning the home and cooking, and becoming pregnant too early, they were to get an education.
Ten laptops were also passed on to the Secondary School which the four girls would attend in Sumbawanga. These laptops had been donated by a wholesale company in Ireland which was upgrading and had heard about the project.
