We Asked For Three And Got Five

Yesterday morning, we had the follow up meeting to our previous week's consultative meeting with community leaders, elders and members.

We had requested that the community give SDV the building it currently occupies for three years, rent free, as a contribution from the community to the project.

And instead they have given us five years!

We take this is a clear sign of strong support from the community for SDV. And we feel energised by all this and can now accelerate the plans we have for the longer term future of how SDV can grow and serve the community better.

Four members from the community were also elected during the meeting to serve on an advisory board, which will also contain SDV volunteers.

And, again, we didn't waste this opportunity to introduce a number of those present to the computers.
