News contained in an E mail from Daniel Bujiku
received 19th February 2005
I real apologize on behalf of the team for not communicating for a while especially myself as the more responsible person for this communication. The only problem was normal as you can guess to be, power in Magu!!
Children: All the children are very well. None of who is sick or having any kind of problem either healthily or disciplinary at the moment. All are working hard to school and behaving very well at home.
Abel: (Who used to be one of our little boy) joined his family on 9/2/2005. We took him to Mwanza at the social office where his mother and grandfather (His mother's father) were already there waiting for him. The handling over of Abel back to his family was done and signed by both sides in the social welfare office -Mwanza . (Abel is a little boy who we took from prison where his mother was awaiting trial (for the attempted murder of Abel) - the case has been resolved and Abel’s mother freed)
Building work: The work is progressing very slow at moment for different reasons: The builders are doing the rendering inside which is still a long was to be finished. Once the finish inside, they will start outside. The building of trusses and roofing hasn't started yet. The person we expected to do all these works is very busy at Bulima at the moment. He communicated to me in three days ago that he might be free coming to work at Bethany in two weeks, The team is happy to wait for him for these two weeks because we feel there is no need to rush. By the way, the area that was blown by wind from the dinning hall has already got roof on and is back on use now.
Tiles: we now have collected enough tiles for new dormitory and dinning hall but we haven't decided who and when to start laying them especially in the dinning hall. Hopefully this will happen by the time are back here in March.
Borehole: We rang the water engineer man in Mwanza requiring the borehole at Bethany and we wanted to know the cost of digging up the borehole. The only suggestion he had was that we should see the waterman in our district where we had been already. Anyway we went to see him in Magu and the man required a written survey report from the man who did the survey. We contacted the surveyor and required him to send us the report something he agreed to do. But we are now still waiting for it up to this moment.
Management team: the team is working happily together for the Bethany vision.
Clinic: It is progressing well though few patients attending at the moment.
Wedding: Eliada and I went to Magu hospital for medical examination with an official letter from our pastor (the one who will officiate our wedding).The result were very positive and were given go on for our marriage. There are many requirements for Eliada and I have to comply with before the time but every thing is going ok. She is working ok to her school from the news I got last week from her. Would tell Paul for me that I am eagerly looking forward to seeing him in March and he should not worry any thing as the best man. If there will be any thing he should either do or know before the time as the best man. I will let him know immediately as possible otherwise every thing is fine.
Ibrahim's training at veta: Onesmo and I will going in Mwanza next Monday, we will pay the fee for Ibrahim's mechanics training for six months. We hope that he will be staying at Fonelisco during his studies as we asked Joseph if he will accept him to stay there during his training. He said there will be no problem through we haven't discussed it in detail yet. He may start his course on 7/3/2005.
Thank you very much for your daily prayers for us all here at Bethany and may god bless you as we pray for you too.
Yours truly,
Daniel Bujiku (On behalf of the Tanzanian Team)
