Term II Starts

Today children go back to school to start Term II, which will end on Friday 25th of August. This is something to celebrate, because 2023 is another year that is proving to experience uninterrupted classes.

Throughout the past three weeks, we have been busy repairing all the institutional improved cook stoves (IICS) because children were on holidays. Not everyone had the luxury of spending all those days relaxing at home. Some classes, especially candidates, had only one week off.

Our Project Officers are now back in the kitchens training the cooks on how best to operate the IICS, while keeping a clean kitchen environment. The biggest emphasis has to be put on the size of the firewood logs to be used. Cooks tend to avoid chopping the firewood into small pieces, wrongly believing that bigger pieces can cook faster.
