Updated Plan for Residential Building
We are currently building two residential houses for 5 non-teaching staff, one will be for the male non-teaching staff and the other for female non-teaching staff following the advice given by the Bishop based on moral point of view, but indeed the cost for the two houses will not exceed the budget planned.
We have deviated slightly from the original plan to have WC and wash room in the corner rather than in the middle of the house following the advice given by the planner and the constructor, that it would be easier to have the sewage system connected from the other residential houses of teaching staff, in that case controlling the sewage will be easy and the sewage chambers will be in one direction.
There currently is a problem of bricks which has caused us to stop for a moment the constructional activities but we are handling the situation so that construction activities will continue according to our plan.
Since the salaries had to be paid during the school closure, part of the funds for the construction projects were used for this purpose in agreement with Beckhoff.
Greetings from Mpandandogo. I would like to say thanks very much to the funds sent to the Seminary. I am happy to inform you that the works are in good progress.
It
is very sad that up to the moment all school in Tanzania are closed! It is a
very disturbing moment to the curriculum development as well as economic
progress in national level up to an individual level.
As a Seminary, let me be open: we are facing a financial crisis! We have sent home almost all of our workers! The fact is almost 70% of our daily undertaking in the school depends on school fees! The school was closed in the beginning of the first quarter while the majority of the students were in the process of paying school fees; So you can imagine our situation.
We really appreciate what the company is doing for us, it is doing a lot! But in this particular situation may I appeal on the behalf of the community to beg for financial assistance to run the school; sincerely we are facing the problem of paying the salaries to our workers since last month! Indeed our workers are very understanding and they are coping to realize the situation, but I'm afraid we will lose the best workers as soon as they decide to go back to work in agriculture.
