Three Wishes Progress

 

First Wish

To provide the villagers with farm machinery and implements to enhance and improve the productivity of their farming- growing potatoes in particular – and providing them with the skills to use the machinery thus helping them help themselves to establish a sustainable farming future.

The first 40 foot container has arrived in the village of Atirir after three months to much excitement. Shortly, two committee members, skilled farmers and mechanics will accompany Dr Odeke to the village to educate the farmers in the use and safety aspects of the machinery and implements.

Second Wish

To provide materials and help build a medical centre at the village

At the moment, the nearest medical centre is too far from the village to be of any help to most who fall ill.

A second container is planned to be under way in April 2009. This container will contain further machinery and implements as well as building materials for the construction of the medical centre and necessities such as hospital beds.

Third Wish

To drill for water.

Currently, only one borehole services the 3000 people of the village.
