Jambo y'all.
We have come to the end of April which would have seen us open for the second term of this year. As we all know, schools were closed indefinitely due to Covid - 19. Our government announced 31 more days for the schools to remain closed. I have been able to visit happy day families ( observing the set down rules) during this pandemic and I can report that life is hard. Most of the happy day families ( almost all of them) live in abject poverty and cannot therefore afford essential items and especially now that we are required to stay at home to stop the virus. Our families are affected greatly because our parents live on daily wages of below a dollar per day. Right now they don't have any form of income and so what I have witness is far more worse than what I knew. Families are going for a day or two without food until when a well-wisher like you and me appears to give some help. We at happy day are blessed to have gotten assistance in form of food, soap and tissue paper from our friends, family and supporters in Norway. May each one of you be blessed 
. I am still waiting for some face masks from a friend of mine so that I can distribute to the families. During my visits I found out that most of them don't have this very important items which happens to be a requirement. If one is found without a mask they get arrested by the police and are taken for forced quarantine.

The government requires that if a person, a group or an organization wants to distribute food they go through the area administration. Am happy to report that we have experienced great cooperation from our local authority. They promised to always give us security when we have items to give to our families.
We are very grateful that we at least helped a family put food on the table. It's much an eye opener to me that people are suffering out here.
We don't have much about academics to report about because our government has set up online learning for students and they have tv programs too. Our happy day families don't have access to any form of internet and most of them don't have a tv set. Those who have a tv cannot afford to pay for the monthly subscription so that their kids can study via the kids channel. So we have to wait until schools open for our kids to learn.
OUR APRIL/ MAY BUDGET IS AS FOLLOWS ::::
salaries..... 80000
Insurance... 18000
Water..... 1500
Food....... 50000
TOTAL...... 149500
Extra salary due to hard times.....40000
