Greetings from your God-daughters in the House of Jjajja Don, who are filled with gratitude to you, for enabling them, to recognize their dignity in the community as truly human beings.
The girls purchased some materials to make candles on Thursday 26 January 2012, including a pack of wax; aluminum source-pans; candle mold; polythene sheets, etc.. and handled over to the girl, to start the candle making project. The girls were so excited, and on 10 February 2012, a volunteer lady assisted me in instructing them how to make candles without charging us any coin. Some pictures will be forwarded to you by Matthias.
Allow me now to update you about some achievements these girls have been able to register in some few past days.
1. These girls impressed me greatly, when they offered some outside catering services to a number of 60 people who had attended a meeting at St Kizito on 23 January 2012. Some funds were borrowed to buy certain foods, and hired some needed utensils, some cooking charcoal; transport for 3 days, and they were able to get some payment from the services they offered. Each one of the girls received about $7.00 for themselves. The net profit of their catering services for the Home was an equivalent of US $ 104.
2. On 27 January 2012 they offered some other catering services to 20 people and got some funds again. This time each individual received about $3.50 each and about $25.50 for the Home.
3. On 30 January 2012 they bought some utensils for their catering services in case chance avails them with an opportunity, namely:
a) Some 6 small serving dishes
b) 3 dozens of plates
c) Sugar bowels
d) 2 dozens of Cups
Incomes from catering services on 23 Jan and 27 Jan minus the expenditures for some utensils on 30 Jan gives a net profit of $36 USD and the use of good utensils for future catering jobs.
Such is some interesting news from your Daughters!—God’s Blessings to you, Gerald.
I was able to call the girls this morning and let them know I had received this information from Fr Gerald. They were all so excited about the three business ventures they have embarked on: Banana Chip Production, Candle Production and Catering Services. I told them how proud I am of all of them and that they are in our hearts and prayers each day. They give their love and prayers to all who are helping them succeed.
