Mr. Kahuadi wrote: Enclosed I am sending you more pictures of our findings from the field visit that we have done yesterday. We did our own assessment and realize that there are four basic main needs identified among San communities. Accommodation, food, firewood and toilets.The law enforcement officers with police and army discourage people going to toilet or looking for firewood. They do not have firewood or toilet in their homes. This not fare treatment. We are in discussion with the company that provides portable toilets in each ward, but that will cost about P3,000.00 per month for rent. On 4 sides = P12,000.00. That will help people not to go into the bush for toilet. The fire wood is only available about 100km outside Ghanzi. One of the farmers has offered us his farm to collect firewood. The challenge is fuel to collect it at their farm.Window of Hope can assist (they have been given a permit to travel) if we can have money for fuel. Fuel cost with provision for people to assist will be about P1,000.00 per load. We will only need 4 loads per month. Which will be P4,000.00. 10 families will benefit from it. The four toilets will be placed at four locations or wards. The company will maintain the toilets.
Break down
1. P12,000.00 for Toilet Rental for a Month (about € 918)
2. P4,000.00 for firewood per month (about 306)
3. P5,000.00 x10 Tents =P50,000.00 (about € 3.820)
Mma Corrie the above information does not mean you have to do everything. We just wanted to give you bigger picture of need on the ground. We have visited the affected families and house holds and through our interview with them this is what we received from them. Your support will directly benefit the community. We will also ensure that government acknowledges your support as a Foundation. The government provides food for some of the households and free water connection which is good, but above needs are not met. The food is not sufficient for all. There are 10 -45 members of families in each home we visited yesterday. The amount of food provided and number of people in the household does not equal the food provided. We are in lock down in our homes with few support of basics needs. How can people stay in their homes without support. They have food without cooking gas. No toilets on the location. If the police and army find them on the street they are told to leave the firewood and go home. This is not fare treatment. When they made regulations they did not consider the life style of the various communities. They came up with one size fits all approach which does not work for all. I will provide you with small updates of our findings. Thanks.

Mr. Johannes Kahuadi of the Windows of Hope Center in Ghanzi mentioned that it is impossible for the San Communities to follow up the COVID-19 rule of keeping distance with other people. They have to stay at home and live with too many people in 1 hut. Mr Kahuadi visited different neighbourhoods of Ghanzi and found that in one of the huts 35 people were living. At night they sleep outside. His wish was to buy army tents and place them in the yards of the people. This will kill 2 birds with 1 stone because after the pandemic the tents can remain and offer protection against low temperatures in winter, and rain and sun in summer. SEMK Botswana has transferred money for two tents and is starting a project to buy more tents.

Egyptair has informed me that my flight to Johannesburg on 28 April has been cancelled. I had already informed the agent, Kilroy that I wanted to rebook my tickets to a date on which it would be safe to travel again. It is unknown how much compensatie will be given.
We have started to support three teachers financially. Two are not paid their salary now their schools are closed down because it is a private school. Government schools pay out the salaries to the staff. The other one could not combine her work at school with her teacher training course. We also sent money to the Window of Hope, for streetchildren. As there is much demand for food worldwide, prices have gone up and more children in Botswana are undernourished.
