Saving Water

 One good thing about all the thunderstorms we are having is how much water we are able to save. Every time it starts raining we put whatever we can to collect water outside.

Cold Weather and Picking Up Carpentry

Cold weather has driven us to pick up more firewood for hot water and inadvertently caused us to pick up carpentry. Having more time on our hands has already driven us to invent new things in the tailoring workshop, now we are looking at carpentry. While we don't have most of the tools to make more advanced items we use the little we have to build and make small items. Although we always wanted to go into carpentry at one point, not only for building new things but also as a learning opportunity for the kids, we planned to do this much later once we were better equipped.

    

Tailoring

 Due to all the newfound time during the situation, we have been able to come up with more designs and work on some cool projects with the kids during their free time. Here are the pictures of some of the things we have made so far.

Farm Updates and Pre-kitchen

Farming has been our main focus during the lockdown, it is more essential than before. The farms no longer just feed us and the kids but families in dire need. As we mentioned in our previous post we have been giving food to families worse off, to be able to sustain all of us we have expanded our gardens and made the most use of small spaces. The Pre-kitchen luckily was still able to run and here in Uganda, delivery was one of the few things allowed during the strictest time of the lockdown. 

Donations

 During the lockdown, we have been receiving food donations that we distribute to different families in need. As you are all aware due to the virus jobs are being disrupted or people are being fired, because of this Pursuit for Sanyu has done the best to help the children we support and their families to at least have food. Most of the food donations are from our termly sponsors, they all decided instead of paying for school fees during this time that they would donate money for food. Thanks to this many families have been able to survive. We thank the sponsors for their generosity during these trying times. Other food donations actually come from our own gardens and Pre-kitchen, since most of our other projects have been put on hold we are focusing on our agricultural farm and the pigs.
