Summer holidays news & meeting
Dear and still young friends,
summer and school holidays are in progress and thanks that we finally found some time to let you know some latest news from KiT.
Just a reminder: we are still supporting Jackeling, Rose and Godfrey.
Godfrey finished his last exams in last week and he is awaiting the results. Unfortunately he is waiting in a hospital, he got some infection and malaria. We sent him an amount of 2.700 CZK (including transfer fee) what is the amount he asked for. We thought that finances for him were already completed and that everything was already paid for. But unluckily additional expenditures were found and without those he would not be allowed for the exams. He also mentioned that he would like to go for one month study visit to Johanesburg but we have to discuss that matter.
Jackelin has lost her mobile phone so we were not able to reach her for some time. Otherwise she is quite busy in the school, got new subjects, thesis etc. But she finished her exams and now looking forward to the summer holidays. She is going to take practical fieldworks for ten weeks.
Rose is preparing herself thoroughly for the final university exams which will take place in August. The results should be out in September and in there should be a Graduation party in November. Following that she should spend one year on some hospital internship. After that she shold be able start using degree "registered nurse" and should be able to apply for a job.
Current balance on our KiT account is 69.300 CZK.
We already discussed with Ema that during autumn we would like to start searching for the new candidates so that we could start supporting them in coming year 2020.
Ema also asked us to discuss the possibility of supporting himself on his another studies which is he planning to take. He would like to complete a higher education. He hasn't decide yet were to study but there is a possibility that he would move to Uganda. We will also discuss that.
Big thanks to all for your still enabled regular money transfers :) We are still receiving the money and the amount on the KiT account is increasing
Together with Veny we tried to sell some tanzanian slippers to check it it there would be an interest. So far it looks like there isn't but "every little counts" ;)
We are lacking the energy for making it bigger. In JYSK raffle in February there was collected similar amount comparing to previous years. It's great the my colleagues in JYSK are still having our KiT project on their minds!
My spontaneous idea for the next KiT meeting date is Friday 9.8.2019 around 6 PM at Statenice. It's the same date when there will be finishing a kids camp at our house in Statenice. There should be a vast majority of the regular-kit-meeting-visitors/parents. We will be glad if anybody else will join even with the kids. Those coming from the further distance as well as those arriving from the shorter distance are welcomed to stay overnight (tent, mattress or whatever). We are plannign to make a fire!
Please, let me know he is planning to arrive (e-mail or mobile 724 405 236, wA or SMS). If the date or the place will not suit we can change it.
Enjoy the holidays, will stay in touch!

Short news from KiT
Dear friends,
After relatively longer break, we are keeping in touch again.
In January, I sent a Gift Receipt (letter or scan), we hope all received it.
Recently we (Simon, Jirny and Fráňa) met Lydia in Tanzania = she sends us warm greetings with hug.
Lydia is doing well, working at TPC private hospital where she joined the birth department. She, her self, gives birth to one nicer baby than the other.
We believe that Godfrey will finish his studies fine and all will go well. It is a great experience for us. A little bit more difficult communication and a little bit more expensive student than we have had before, but we are sure it was worth it.
Others, currently supportive students - Jackelin and Rose - are still studying and we know they are studying well. More about them sometimes latter …
So far, we have not organized the next generation of students, we will wait for the next year while saving bit more money, bit bigger reserve.
At this moment, on our account have CZK 36,278.
Although we have tried, unfortunately, we have not been able to switch our miniature accounting to another, cheaper accounting entity.
Although I asked some discount from them, I just received answer that next time it would be the opposite, most probably more expansive. Therefore, who would know about someone who could help us with our accounting (less than 7,000 czk / year), please contact me, let's discuss it.
We are looking into it.
KiT meeting is tentatively planned for the beginning or half of June. It will be Sunday afternoon and most likely in Statenice = garden party associated with a walk into the nature and possibly an evening fire.
