Hello again,
One of Hull's long established family business's Snowden & Co Ltd founded in 1898 have generously come to the help of Rotary and their ongoing humanitarian project on Ukerewe Island, situated in Lake Victoria, Tanzania.
Although specializing in welding and fabrication including large pressure vessels for industry, after hearing and seeing the almost complete lack of toilet facilities in the Senior Schools on the island, they have manufactured two stainless steel urinals which are already on their way in the forty foot container, which will arrive on the island by the time the working group of volunteers get there in July.
The photo shows Patricia Rowe from the Rotary Club of Helmsley and District, who used to live and work in the Hull area, James Brown, age 20, who was given the task of designing and making the urinals, and Glyn Barrick, Managing Director of Edwin Snowden at the back.
James is coming to the end of his apprenticeship with the company and this work will be submitted as part of his qualification.
Sincere thanks go to the company, including the former M.D. and now Chairman Liz Young for this wonderful donation.
One of the projects in July is to build a new toilet block at one of the schools, and these urinals will make a big improvement to the facilities for the children.
Until the next time,
Best wishes,
Derek and Diane
