The new vehicle for this project subsequently donated has been ordered and should be soon available too. No grants have been forthcoming for this project for 2001 but one way or another we have scraped enough money together to go on for at least another year. New staff is needed to start building up this project again. The auditor suggested that in future the Final Accounts of the MEC should reflect the value of buildings and equipment of the Centre . A value for buildings will appear in the 2001 Balance Sheet.

Two Dutch volunteers completed six months work at the Centre , in the Primary School.
