FINAL DAY Wednesday 20th September 2023
Another meeting complete and I wish you had all been there as there was tremendous praise from the ‘stake holders’ as they are called. These included the head teachers at Nanga school (first pic below .. Mr Arthur Bweupe,) and Choongo school Mr Mwzila (second pic) and Muumba school Mr Bbilika (third pic). Also present was the new Psychotherapist from Holy Family, Brother Innocent, Mrs Peggy Kalima (Choongo school house parent), the HHZ printers, and the outgoing trustee Mrs Mwila. There were many others who were in attendance all supporting HHZ.

Before the elections of the new board members, Jute Williams addressed the people and thanked them profusely for being there and supporting the work of HHZ. She also emphasized that there was a need to share with as many organizations as possible the variety of work that HHZ is doing including vocational training and grant support. Jute’s new dress and sandals were an example of this.
She also read out the letter which Robbie had handed to her before the meeting. (See later posting)
All the head teachers spoke in turn and described how their school had received so much help and support over many years. The HHZ printers (4th picture above) also told their story as did Prisca Hatembo . (teacher in wheelchair below). It was very moving and there were many rounds of applause. Ron Prosser as original founder and Patron was also thanked.

Cup cakes with HHZ icing made by Mwansa, (HHZ admin) were served along with soft drinks.
Voting resulted in the Chairperson, Vice chair and Secretary staying the same as before. Everyone agreed that they are doing a brilliant job. There are now some new faces on the board, namely the Choongo House mother, Peggy Kalima , Prisca Hatembo (senior teacher Muumba school) Brother Innocent from Holy family and Mr Bweupe (Nanga school.)
