Posted by Graham Burt on Jun 18, 2016
On Saturday, 11 June 2016, President William McLellan, President Elect Ignatius Ndzinge, President Nominee Tebogo George, Past President John Cunliffe together with Rotarians Graham Burt, Casmir Jongman and Sabine Ostmann travelled to Jwaneng to handout blankets to squatters who are looked after by the Lapa La Lorato Catholic Church.
This is the 3rd trip that we have made out to the church in Jwaneng, Previously we have handed out some of the proceeds from our Donate a Can project.
At the church we meet Nicodemus Manenge and Tshepo Modise who are two of the coordinators of the Church's project as the priest Father William had left and has not been replaced yet.
We handed over a couple bales of blankets, some clothes and toys to Tshepo Modise to be distributed to the squatters and most of them were unable to travel from where they had set up home. We did handout blankets and some toys to the few had managed to make it to the church grounds.

Before we left the Jwaneng area to return to Gaborone we were taken to Sese village which is just outside of Jwaneng. On one of the plots the Church had built a shelter for a woman and her many children. It replaces the rudimentary construction she had which could not stand up to the elements. The replacement shack is not brilliant but it does keep out wind and rain, unfortunately the Church congregation do not have the funds to provide anything better.
We handed out a few blankets and then moved on to another plot in the village. The occupants of the dwelling we not at home and so we then left the village and returned home to Gaborone
