Many of our volunteers and directors have just recently returned from Rwanda and Kenya. The projects in Banda, Rwanda are going very well, and we are still in the midst of finishing the communal kitchen and the library for the children. The latrines have been finished and we have also brought cows into the community. The cows’ milk adds nutritional value to many foods and the cows give a feeling of wealth to the village. We still plan on using biogas for the kitchen when it is finished, by using the waste from the latrines and the cows. Biogas is renewable natural gas that can substitute for natural gas. Biogas is usually 50% to 80% methane and 20% to 50% carbon dioxide with traces of gases such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen. This will save Banda money and it is better for the environment. Also, many volunteers and teachers in Kenya, at Kolunga Beach, have begun a new project at Litari Beach. The project already has one class and a feeding program, with a craft program on the way. This past visit to both countries showed a lot of progress and more to come.
The bases for the new stoves are coming along.
The children have been eating more nutritious food.
