Dear Followers of Med
We will be counting on the valiant collaboration of mini brigades
of volunteers who are making themselves available to help out with repairs,
maintenance and extensions at our schools in Ethiopia. We already have the first team looking
at dates: five men and a woman.
These mini brigades are formed by seamen from the super yachts that
arrive at our shores in the winter for the offseason. All the volunteers are giving their services free of
charge and are paying all of their travel costs.
In Abugida they will erect a fence around the school to stop
the street animals for entering, they’ll reconstruct the school entrance, carry
out plumbing and many outstanding repairs. They are people used to solving difficult problems at deep
sea and sometimes in the face of great difficulties, so they have acquired many
skills. In Fita they will fit
water tubing for the kitchen. In
Sebeta they will buy and install a new industrial kitchen and an extractor. They’ll also lay cement around the
houses so that they don’t get full of mud during the rainy season. They will train up two handymen at both
Abugida and Sebeta. Their work
will be very very useful to maintain and embellish the schools especially now
that we are in the process of building a new cesspit at Abugida, using a local
contractor at a cost of 5500 Euros.
If you are interested in joining or forming your own mini
brigade please contact us. We also
have a Facebook page dedicated to these Med digniprogrammes.
