As we walked around to people's homes and talked about the project, the response has been overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic, from young and old.
We visited the community elders first and a number of them expressed their support and pledged to help the project get started.
And this has resulted in an unexpected turn of events. The owners of the building that we found ideal for the project, but for which we didn't want to pay rent, have had a change of heart. We will be receiving the keys today!
When we set off, we didn't know how people would receive this project. Such a positive attitude from the community has now become a major driving force and we are making progress faster than we had expected.
We are now working towards an official launch this Sunday morning and are spreading the news in schools, the church, the student hostel and by word of mouth.
