We commissioned the local Njombe carpenter to make beds, wooden kitchens, tables etc. The gardens have been cleared by the local church volunteers. A local painter and decorator have completed the decorating. We paid for two Tanzanian Anglican Sisters to be trained at Dodoma College in Child Care in preparation for the children arriving.
