Rugby training has started, and although somewhat influenced by Andy, everyone here was delighted when Ireland thrashed England last Saturday!
And now a special note about the Rwandan volunteers who work at the Centre. They are such a dedicated group of people who work long hours for very little financial reward. We hope some of the funds we have raised can be paid to this hardworking group who, whilst caring diligently for the street boys, face their own personal hardships in the post genocide era of Rwanda.
The big news from the Centre is that an additional 10 street boys have been accommodated and all the boys have moved into a new accommodation block.
The downside is the extra cost and so we have increased our funding raising target – everybody loves a stretch target – don’t they?? So we now have some way to go. The extra money raised will contribute to the following much needed items:
• Food - £300 per month
• Accommodation – £130 per month
• Electricity bills - £30 per month
• Charcoal for cooking - £30 per month
• Additional beds and mattresses - £20 per item
• Clothing - £20 per child
• First Aid supplies - £20 per month
• Basic medical insurance - £11 per child
• Boys’ haircuts (so they don’t get sent home from school!) - £8 per month
A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far and a plea from us for anyone else to make a contribution – even a very small amount can make big a difference here.
Love and thanks
Andy & Viv

glad to see work going well. Sounds as if the centre is now running even more smoothly with your help. have forwarded the target to the lads at the club. A bit concerned if Andy is teaching them rugby - do they know you don't stop playing if you break a fingernail ? and making them support Ireland is tantamount to brainwashing ?
All the best UB
UB is going to be sulking until the next match next year. His face in croke park was pricless poor boy. Good luck with the training.
