Back to the "everyday routine"

Everything returned to normal. The kids are studying like usually.
 Hello everybody,

After a couple of very intense weeks life here is back to normal. We opened the Oasis one week ago after making sure that there were no new infections. Fortunately everybody is feeling well again!
Of cause Dengue fever was a big subject during the last weeks. Let's hope that this will not happen again anytime soon!
They have all recovered and are happy that the Oasis is open again.
Due to serious malnutrition most of the kids are probably more likely to catch illnesses. Thanks to a sponsor, to whom we are very thankful, we started giving them vitamin pills. One pill each day to strengthen their immune system.

We were a little shocked when the kids told us that they already know these vitamin pills. Not because they ever took one but because their parents give them to the chickens to make them fit for their chickenfights. It's sad to see that people here find the money to buy vitamins for their chicken instead of their children. Gambling is a big problem here. Chickenfights are just one form of it.

WK is still learning how to play the guitar, he is actually quite good now!
Currently the Oasis is working out the concept for our next project. To prevent diseases like the Dengue fever or Malaria from spreading a good sewer system, a clean environment and a good health are essential! So our next project will contain these three aspects, building suer systems, developing a solution for the big trash problem and teaching about what to eat and to do to stay healthy.


Let's hope that this project will be a success!

 









Happy, happy, happy everything went well!
Happy to be able to play Lego at the Oasis again.
I am happy to be able to play pranks on my friend Leber again.




And they can finally finish their self-made bags!
