Callum the director of Comfort Rwanda gave me £4000 in cash to start the project, and yesterday I became a millionaire for a day - except that it was a Rwandan Franc millionaire.
Today started with going through spreadsheets of action points and financial issues, just making sure that we had not missed much.
After that we did some scouting for a few hours around Kigali city centre, for a wee report the Inkuru Nziza church has asked to do.
At 3pm we met with the builders and Norbert the supervising architect and pretty well completed most of our business.
At the end of the meeting there was the little matter of shaking hands on our agreement and passing over to Sabine the £4000 I had brought. She is going to manage the financial monitoring of the project for us, and the first stage was giving around £3200 to the builders for the site preparation and excavation.
We meet on site at 9am Monday to see the the bulldozer roar into action - should be great fun.
So millionaire no more, but great anticipation to see the site transformed into a platform for the College. I must admit I remain pretty nervous, but so far everything is going well.
Thanks for continued prayers and support
Gary Macfarlane heads south for his curling training camp. Will he get back in time for key curling competitions, is there any ice in Rwanda, and do the street children of Kigali realise that there is no money in curling! Roger Fleming has decided to head South also. Macfarland has apparently persuaded him that there is kayaking in the Rwandan hills!! More importantly, will the Vocational Training College be built within 6 months.
