Kennett is now in Zambia. He travelled from Lusaka to Kitwe by bus yesterday so he could take the new chair template/patterns and other necessary bits and pieces. The plan is to help the workshops get set up with shelves of piece parts e.g. sides, backs, seats and supports for a range of chair sizes. This will be ready and dry to help the Volunteers and CBR workers to make a chair to size far more quickly.
So today he started with the Volunteers from Wukwashi wa Nzambi and Ben Doree workshop.
Good news!
5 more standing frames have been made
and the APT bookcase that they started for the small office storeroom
is now finished.
Basic construction
Chrispine, Thompson and Patrick
carrying it to under the trees to dry out of the full sun
Next step- Chrispine fixing strengthening rods
(the bookcase is upsidedown)
PS. Not sure when Kennett will be able to get on line (it is quite a mission to get to the nearest town and find an internet shop) but hopefully a photo of the bookcase in situ and more news will be sent before too long!
