Hey James, I've been extremely busy this whole month. I've been rushing around to get ready for school exams and the upcoming term break, which is just a week away. It's good for me, though. I really love working for my community and preparing these kids for life. I enjoy it, man.
Things aren't great here, James. I'm not sure if it's the war in the Middle East or if our government is using it as an excuse. In one week, they've raised the prices of petrol, LP gas, and diesel three times. This has caused the prices of food, commodities, and services in the country to soar. It's hit our school budget so hard that we've had to cut the kids' lunches to just twice a week. It's really bad, man. I hope this war ends soon; it's affecting ordinary and poor kids and our programs. Do you think the war could lead to World War III? Is there any chance it will end soon? What's the general opinion of the common citizens in the US about the war?
I've had several practice sessions on my laptop writing content for the website. I'll write the page for you to edit and post in two days.
The new land across the street does have electricity and water access. There are power lines running above the land and a nearby community borehole.
It looks like a severe hunger is looming in Zimbabwe soon. We had erratic rains this season, and most of the maize plants dried up before reaching maturity.
Do you think there's any chance of raising funds for borehole drilling as soon as possible? If we can drill a borehole now, we could plant maize, vegetables, etc., for sale and consumption. This could save the school, the Foundation, and the community at large. Food is in a critical state now; we're in a crisis.
