Mai-Ini Women group
The mothers on the picture is the MAI-INI WOMEN GROUP, this group is the core of LA Unica Child care entre. they started the school 2001 and have fought for its survival and evolvement since then. the school have had great success as more children in the village of Lusigeti have been able to get education through this school. Orphans in the village enroll for free in the school. Right now there are about 38 orphans of total 197 children enrolled.
Children with one parent pay 2 USD (15 SEK) a month and those with both parents alive pay 4 USD (30 SEK). This means that the total amount that the school have for all expenses during a month is about 500 USD (3500 SEK).
There are almost 10 volonteers at the school. Educated teachers who have not yet a paid job, in the meanwhile they work here. They get small pocketmoney from the budget, so they can use the bus to town jobsearching from time to time. These volonteers live in the neigbour hood, of the land, as they live with relatives with shambas/gardens.
I admire these women who started this school as I admire my own visionary mother.
Mothers go all the way, I hope we do to!

Hej!
Har varit inne och tittat på din blogg och läst om flickornas situation. Det skär i hjärtat att man inte kan hjälpa alla som man skulle vilja hjälpa! Hoppas det ordnar sig för dem!
Skönt att veta att vi är alla älskade.
