Creating a New Kitchen for Lake Victoria Children's Society


Hello again,

 Whilst in Ukerewe during July/August 2012, it was decided to create a new kitchen for Lake Victoria Children's Society. There was an existing outside kitchen, which is usual on the island.


There was an empty room available to rent, which needed painting out.  Steve soon set to work ...

and Everest, who owns the building was always a willing helper ....



Noella was the local electrician, and Noella and Terry (a volunteer joiner) made a good team.  Whilst Noella was installing cables, Terry was fitting the gas hob into the work surface.


I'll teach you some joinery Noella, so look and learn!


Robert was teaching Dorice how to tile .......


and afterwards, Steve taught her how to grout between the tiles ...


After a team effort, the finished kitchen.



The gas hob definitely came in handy for cooking pancakes for lunch



A well earned rest for Patricia and Robert



The kitchen is now an essential place for the childrens breakfast preparations.  LVC have been doing some outside catering to seminars and meetings etc. when ever the opportunity has arisen.

The stainless steel tables and gas hob, along with other things, was kindly sourced by Pat and Steve.

Until the next time.

Best Wishes,

Diane and Derek.
