Summary of project status:
While trying to purchase building reconstruction supplies this month, I discovered that the projected costs provided to me by Antoine were significantly lower than the actual prices for almost all of the materials. I met with the contractor (who is Alphonse, the Goat Monitor for Dufatanye) to review the proposal again and he also identified a few additional necessary supplies that were left out of the proposed budget. Furthermore, the quotes provided to me by Antoine were supposed to have included the cost of labor, but Alphonse informed me that the cost of his labor will be an additional 400,000zmk.
This month my sister donated in-kind supplies to the new FHS project, including linens, scales, medicines, office supplies, and stationary.
Future activities:
Antoine and I are meeting to reconstruct the budget and assess whether the higher costs of the building reconstruction will be off set by the savings from the supplies provided by my sister.
Substantial problems or issues:
See budget and building cost information above.
Wishes or requests:
None.
