Update on our journey 4: Full programme

The new week started with a full programme: In the morning, the board meeting of the UCV Trust Foundation took place. After the successful meeting, the children went to the Children’s Officer to deal with official matters. He also came directly to the village for a visit and the children proudly showed him their drawn beach experiences of the previous day. While Carsten, Hendrik and Uwe then took care of further management issues, Maja and Maike devoted themselves again to the constructional and technical challenges in the orphan village. To everyone’s surprise, our contractor was already on the plot in the morning with a full team for the upcoming renovation and maintenance work. A short construction meeting and off we went. During the bid review and negotiations with the new contractor, where the management could count on the experience and negotiating skills of the two German architects, work was already in full swing outside on the plot (i.e. even before the contract was awarded!). Wow!

So it was another full day for everyone. Exhausted but happy about a successful day, everyone is looking forward to the next one.
