It is with great sadness that we report the untimely death of Mr Elvis Makonde, younger brother of Rev Charles Makonde. Elvis leaves two daughters, his wife Rebecca having died at a young age just two years ago.
Elvis was Chairman of the Timboni School Development and Feeding committee and as such was our main point of contact for the school projects. His contribution of time and talents to the school and his support for Under The Mango Tree will be greatly missed.

Despite a hefty budget to create a flat playing field at Timboni School, the project stopped when the money ran out due to extra costs incurred on heavy rock moving equipment. The school is based on a disused quarry and the ground is very rough.

Timboni School was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation for 'Dedication, Commitment and the Pursuit of Excellence'

by the Deputy Chief Education Officer (far left in photo) in November 2018. Timboni School was represented by Madam Agnes and Margaret.

A successful craft morning was held with coffee and cake on hand in the beautiful St Helen's Church in Northwich. Valuable funds were raised whilst visitors selected authentic Kenyan gifts for their Christmas boxes.

Gordon and Angela Atkinson, founding Trustees, self-funded a visit to Timboni School in October 2018 to see how work was progressing in a number of different areas. This is their report.
