HI all,
Sad news received today mourning,our school classes has been disturbed because the place has been used for storage by PUSH ORG.I have directed my staff to go and assist with the matter there and iam awaiting the feedback from them.Plse this issue is worrying because we need classes to continue within days so that children don't miss much of the lessons.Plse will keep you posted of the results.
We are working to find a better place to opereate on after resolving the issue with local people who are also concerned.The solution will be found soon.Thus important to have our own building despite challenges we are going through,which will workout well soon.
Keep you posted.

That is sad to hear. I'm sure it will be resolved. It's so important these children remain in class so we can work with our existing contacts who really care about these students and the community as well. Has Room to Read in Zambia made any contact with us yet? They were preparing to start new projects in Zambia this year.
I am a bit confused as to why PUSH would take the space that is being used as a classroom. I'm sure you have provided this information before, but what is the current situation of the school. Is the space lent to CEHO and if so, by whom? Does CEHO rent the space? Who owns it? Can you give me a bit more information about PUSH Org? Maybe they can be contacted.
HI ALL,
Hope things are okay here for i have been out of air for sometime.We had no connection at the premise hence stayed away.But thank you for your concerns here.Gladly we have found a temporally place for our classes.We have not been renting this place and push have paid for their rental fees.Howver the local leadership has found a place for our children .Hope all will be fine.All will resume normal.Thank you for your support and iam sure we are meeting a goal soon.
Heather i have not yet heard from Room to read of late but i submited the project on their site.
Plse stay tuned.

HI Barb,
I know how bad you feel about this situation,equally myself.Plse the situation will be resolved though CEHO is not renting this facility.The community owns it and the local leadership together with CEHO staff is working hard to find a better place for our children .And you will be informed if will be on rent or not.Otherwise, children has been reinstated.I dont have much background info about Push.org.Otherwise,its fine i think.
Great and thank you all for your massive concerns as this is worrying.Hope to hear from you.CEHO has so far produced 53 children to grade one this year at the nearby govt school which is far much pleasing.The numbers are quiet increasing despite disturbunces going on.
Thanks and God bless you so much.
Best wishes,

Thanks,

Hello all,

Thank you and keep up well.
regds,

I'm very sorry to hear about your cousin. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Innocent, you are in a good place as we all continue to push forward. Much progress has been made by you and ZOA and having an organization that will monitor the project shows real improvement & expansion!
Hopefully we will have a school participating in Q&A for the coming year through OWC. Keeping my fingers crossed especially since the opportunity for student fundraising is there which we need.
Carol's findings are terrific and one concept that we should focus on with regards to clean water.:)
I would need to start approaching Rotary Clubs again to find possible matching grants. Has Lucie given any update? She has shown us a real interest but it looks like the board needs more concrete information to gain everyone's support.
Regarding the biosand filter, how long does it take to make one? I think it could really help you in the future to generate income?
Hello all,
Plse last week we did receive a grant agreement form from zoa and we have filled it in and returned yesturday.We hope to get the positive response and today i have confirmed the bank details.Thank you all for your massive support.Plse do come up with any idea or comment to get us moving.Our facilitator is quiet this time so we have to get on aboard to achieve our goals. Plse email me or any of us as neighbours for details.
regds,
innocent.
Do you think it is a good idea to update the CEHO home page with some details on the children and community overall? Maybe we can find Roger to help?
With regards to the fundraising page, I thought we can possibly locate a 501 (c) organization that would accept future donations on our behalf as well. (for tax purposes)
Hello Heather & evryone,
Thanks alot for your comments.Plse regarding the biosand filter,once all materials are procured,it does not take long to produce one filter.We will work on this project later in future.Yes,i feel it is necessary to update CEHO homepage.
We really need to get hold of Roger and we need to get one volunteer to help improve our site to a professional standard because the material used doesn't allow further contents to be added.Plse let us find one to do so for us and we will have to post it at nabuur or ask Roger to do so.But many are the times i asked him for such help regarding our sponsorship programe to be included on the site.Please anyone who can do that for us welcome to give us details and we will help privide the information that may be needed.
Secondly, i agree with you Heather on finding or locating a 501 organisation to for future donations on our behalfWe also need to update our newsletters on nabuur page since our facilitor is quiet.
Plse i appeal to any of our neighbours who can be willing to help us with newsletter update.Many neighbours at the moment are quiet.Please another issue of concern is someone to act as facilitator or anyone willing to volunteer as facilitator,who is committed,have time on the net and timely for dicsussions to help us.
But as we wait for that offer we will get issues going with our current neighbours online.You can then email Nabuur for the offer or let us know and we will quickily get hold of Nabuur as soon as possible.
We need to launch our sponsorship programe on CEHO site.Plse let us all come up and make this a reality.I know together we can do it and achieve more results for the benefit of those we serve.Hope you will be one of those!!!!.Be part of the team and help bring up hidden treasures you have!!!Thank you.

HI All,

Plse i once again invite you to log in to our CEHO site and update.This will be a good time to share our resources and demostrate our capabilities during this hard time.We need to achieve our goals by the end of this year.
We also need a volunteer to put our sponsorship programe online so we can work on it as ateam as posted earlier.Our CEHO site need to be improved to be able to include other contents needed as advised by roger.However, many complents goes to heather for her efforts in getting some instructions from roger about our site and what is needed to be done on it.Plse you ma go on doing so and all will apreciate immensely.
Hope these few pences will help us be motivated and enjoy teamwork as we work to build chibolya into a good productive village in africa.You are there and all will to raise together!!
Heather is also working to get a registered NGO in U.S.A to help fundraise because of taxes involved which iam beyond doubt will be okay with time.
