The trip was more then I envisaged. We are already arranging for a small property to be rented or purchased, for the Community Centre, just outside the dump. Every one welcomes it, especially the youth, and the old people. We already took educational supplies, and books to help with the literacy programme.

We are
looking to buy a small wooden unit that has a little
plot of land adjacent to it. This will serve many purposes, for the
Community
projects we have in mind.
There are HIV programmes, along with the Family Planning
awareness programmes.
We have secured the workers for the projects at hand, and
Jon Jon is a very good friend of The Mayor, so authority has been
granted. The
proposals for the new Elementary School has been authorised with flying
colours.
All the children are excited about that. We have our teachers ready and
waiting

We
distributed supplies to the women, and
children, where ever we went.
..
Friendships
have been renewed, and new ones made. We have
connected Patrick Tay, our host in Singapore with Jon Jon and
Tess, and
they will be meeting sometime in May. This is in a view to getting help
with
rice supplies from Singapore, via Patrick.
..
Hygiene
issues were addressed, but although the living
conditions are very bad, the photos show how clean the people are,
relative to
where they live.
All this has been achieved, because of people
helping
people. As long as people can see this as a way forward to peace, and
understanding, learning to live and let live, with out racial hatred,
or class
systems, and just take every one as you find them, not to judge, but to
listen,
and understand, to help, and not hinder, then we can all live in
harmony,
equally, and sharing what we have. Then you will feel life is worth
living, and
living is worth your life.
The Mission is accomplished, yet once again
Many Thanks to all who made it possible
