So we went back to Mama Ngina Children's home and cleaned the dormitories for one and a half day.
We cleaned together with the children and we believe they understood the importance of cleaning their rooms. And they liked doing it.
It was shocking to see how many bedbugs were in the corners of the children’s beds. I shook one corner of one bed and after spraying a couple of times with a bug spray, I shook out 32 dead bedbugs of two different species. Amazing but sad! But maybe the bugs will give the children spirit to keep clean around themselfs.
In these three days, we’ve gotten a lot of help from many of you who follow us, to raise money. That feels fantastic. Actually, more money than we could spend on this particular home in the short time we have in this town. An unexpected and heartwarming response from all of you amazing readers. It has given us extra energy to try and do even more for the kids. The extra money collected now, will come to use in similar projects down the road.
This is what we spent the money on in Mama Ngina Children's home:
80 bedsheets
14 brand new mattresses
Repairing (new mattress covers) 15 mattresses
2 days of work for a stone mason to fix the big holes in the floors + material
20 shelves are being repaired or built new by a carpenter
2 very appreciated mirrors
Bug spray
Buckets and cleaning stuff
1 staircase which will be split in two and serve as two furnitures with shelves
25 m of wax cloth to dress the shelves with
40 small plastic buckets with lids and nametags for kids personal belongings (40 more were given by the supplier for the good cause)
50 m new line for clothes to dry on
Blankets and bedcovers have been washed
All mattresses were taken out, aired for one day without their fabric covers (that got washed).
A lot of this is done for a reasonable price and fast. We have worked hard with money from the fund but what we managed to do would have been impossible without contacts and the great hospitality from the local Round Table organisation here in Kisumo.
These guys are amazing backing us up, even if they were tired after holding a three days free medical camp just before we arrived.
Fredrik is proudly a part of the round table organisation and Christian will definitely want to become a member, passing this hospitality and good will forward to future good friends we yet haven’t met.
