Happy New Year

The HYT trainees at Kizzigo have been working hard on the new kitchen sponsored by Haileybury's Lower School. It is now taking shape nicely. The mood of the team is very postive with everyone pulling together and working hard. They have also made the bricks for the new watertank which will be constructed shortly .

The kitchen at Kizzigo. Trainees making good progress.

Alex and James, our new volunteers (OHs), arrived in Jinja at the start of last week. Since arrival they have already seen some of the great work done by HYT. This includes: Kitchen at Kizzigo, Kasokaso (3Rs), watertank at Lakesite Masese and classroom blocks at Masese primary school. They were given a warm welcome at Kizzigo where they will be staying and helping in the village next week.

Last week, The HYT team visited The Cranes College site in Nangunga village for the first time. They were very impressed at the standard of the ISSB watertank and greatly encouraged that this is being built by HYT graduates, hired by Cranes College for their newly acquired skills. Discussion with the director of Cranes College indicated that there are likely to be be further opportunities for our 3R's graduates. This is a great demonstration of the success of the One Village at a Time scheme so far. Since our visit the trainees have been asked to undertake another job in nearby Lugazi by the same Ugandan organisation.
