OMNI School Report
Dear Karen,
We had an OMNI student admitted to the Children’s Hospital here in Ndola. He fell from a tree on May 1, 2012. He has a fracture, and he will be laying in a tilted bed with weights on his right leg for 21 days. Then, he’ll have a cast. This is a 2nd grader at OMNI school.
Chickens:
The chicken’s production is very poor. We had 100 chicken to start with we now have 90 remaining. 10 chickens died and the vet was consulted. Treatment was given before Charles went on sick leave. The other cause of death has been that eggs are breaking inside the chickens womb due to calcium deficiency. Again meds were administered but there has been no improvement. 90 layers must give 90 eggs each day. But they give 27 eggs/day on average.
The vet said that if there is no improve due to their age the chickens should be replaced. Otherwise we shall keep on losing on feeding without proper production.
In our Tuesday staff meeting, it was recommended that the chickens can be sold and the funds be used to purchase other chickens. However, we await the board’s final word on the chicken matter.
GOATS:
The goats are not well integrated on site. This is because they are becoming destructive especially with the outside cooking arrangement as well as scratching paint on the newly built building walls. The fence in which they live is made of wood which is eaten by termites and the goats find their way out into the corridors of the buildings and sleep there.
I recommend that we either construct a wire fence or get rid of them until we have proper place for the goats so that they don’t interfere with humans and the infrastructure development on site and planting of flowers.
Again, I would like to here the board’s recommendation on this matter. As the goat milk project is really vital for the nutrition of our children.
Blessings,
Pastor Osward
