We have heard from Enos Kyibibi, the SKILL Hostel Director, that all the walls are already plastered now, and the flooring is complete.
Cladding is still going on; it is hoped that it will be complete by the end of this month.
It was the illness and death of Enos' father that delayed things, while Enos was at the Hospital taking care of his Dad, so that he could not be supervising the building work. Hopefully this work will restart on Monday.
Working Plan
When we were in Kasese in March, Mary and Enos spoke to the Mayor of Kasese (I was poorly so couldn't go), who indicated that it was possible that local authority funding for the Hostel might be available, but he needed to see a proper Working Plan. Drafting such a Plan is in progress at present - a draft has been sent to UK for our comments and suggestions, and we are consulting various people with expertise in such documents.
Saturdays are Centre Days
Until funding is available for running the SKILL Centre full time, the intention is to open it to the Street Children on Saturdays, for such things as:-
- Health Education - instructing the boys how to avoid HIV/AIDS, malaria and cholera (which has become a problem locally). Also training in First Aid.
- Maintenance - cleaning the compound, teaching them how to share labour.
