Update

-Children's Library in April 2008-

July 2009

The Precious Thinkers group is still rehearsing their drama to put on DVD. Thomas form Lariak Secondary school has reviewed the drama and approved it. Anne has asked them to reduce the running time from nearly 2 hours down to about 40 minutes. The group practices every Monday and Tuesday.


Sipili Super Angels are doing songs and dramas at weekends. Anne and Patrick visited on 11 August, and started the first girls' club meeting! Miriam who lives in Sipili will be coordinating the meetings with Joseph. The first meeting dealt with hygiene.

June 2009

Sipili celebrated its first birthday on 6th June!! For the event Susan Phillips came up to make sun prints with the children there, and to demonstrate pin hole cameras. As usual too many kids came or tried to join the chosen 12. Someday we will have enough materials and helpers so everyone can take part!

Anne also brought an activity; making hand prints with under five year olds!! This was popular and older children tried to join in too. Fabric paint quickly became face paint, fortunately everyone cleaned up pretty well.


While Anne and Patrick were there, discussions started about having to move the library to new premises. Few committee members showed up, so we are having a meeting with library committee members and the head of Lariak Primary school (where the library is currently located) next week (beginning June 8th)  in hopes of finally resolving this matter.
