MVA gets kitted up!

Sunday 19th February

In the afternoon, Janice, Eddie and Jayne went over to MVI (Macedonian Vocational Institute) also known as MVA (Macedonian Vision Africa). Is it located in the centre of the largest slum in Uganda, Massesi.

MVA is a similar set up to NVI but on a much smaller scale. Currently they have 100-150 students enrolling. The facilities are much different to NVI and they are very very basic.

We were able to have a tour around and meet some of the students. There are 3 theory classrooms for Mechanics, Catering and Body Matters. These classrooms are just brick. No plaster on the walls and no electrical sockets.

They are currently in the middle of having a large girls dormitory built, which will enable a larger intake. There will be room for 270 girls in the dormitory, and will consist of 6 showers and 6 toilets.

All the students we met were very friendly and happy to see us. Eddie got out his box of goodies and provided the students with a full kit for the football team.
