FIRST Cooked meal at the Community Kitchen in the fixed up Community
Hall in Waterval Boven - while the work goes on installing more lights in
the kitchen and outside the front entrance and preparing the hall for bigger events.

Our new volunteer chef
Benjamin, prepared a humble meal for us to sample, consisting of pap
(maize meal) and cabbage that was sampled by the volunteers from the community and abroad - mainly the UK. It was truly delicious.
 |
| I simply love African food - rich and hearty full of flavour - this is what our community workers can look forward to after working in one of the community projects - plus a glass of lemonade and a free movie or documentary or any other show that is on in the hall. |
Now all we need are some
tools and appliances to make the kitchen function effectively. We need a
fridge and freezer - pots, pans, chip fryer, knives, wooden spoons,
chopping boards, cutlery, crockery, proper tap for the kitchen sink and
other general, tools. It all adds up to around R40,000 (US$4000) Please make a donation on the UBUNTU website if
you are able to by clicking on this link here:

I will also launch a crowd-funding campaign to cover these costs. I have run out of money completely - every cent Louise and I have has been put into this project - so please do get involved and help us in this process.

| The excitement of unwrapping a set of 3 new pots - not the greatest quality but it is all we could find in our town. |
In the meantime the hall is being prepared with the newly arrived PA system for small performances and also the screening of satellite sporting events which is a major bonus for the community. Such events will generate the funds to buy the food to feed the people that work in the projects.
