- Procedures for operating the Trust.
DM explained that the school board must apply for funding for a project. The trustees would then assess the suitability and if acceptable would release money from the trust. The forms provided by GMA could be used as a record of proceedings although DM thought they were too brief. We did not amend. The trustees would then act as consultants to make sure the project was suitably carried out and would be responsible to the school board for carrying out this checking.
- Contractors and Tenders. Evans showed us a quotation for 3 million shillings he had received from a contractor, Ndirito, (connected to HSK) who had surveyed the school. It was agreed that we show the same specification for the work done minus the prices to 2 more contractors that DM has contact with. It was stated that the time to be taken for these renovations would be quite crucial also as to when they could start.
- SCHOLARSHIPS, these are the 10 scholarships to be given to the primary schools and paid for by the trust.. Evans if to draft a document for the Primary Schools. BURSARY is the name given to the pledges by Val’s and others contacts who want to help a child through their education. It was decided that as soon as Val’s money is in the bank that we pay , in arrears from January, for the children selected.
- CONDITIONS FOR BURSARIES AND SCHOLARSHIPS.
In order to check that these are being managed correctly, the following conditions were set. Evans said that the bursar would supply all the information for these children.

- Teacher Development. DM asked if we could help in teacher training. Evans said that the main problem for lack of motivation was the work load of the teachers and the low pay. He said he would be grateful for any help.
- AOB
i. DM suggested that we have another signatory on the cheques because 2 of the signatures were ex officio and could move at any time. It was proposed (JS) and seconded( DM) that Lily be approached to be another signature. J.S agreed to ask her.
ii. DM also questioned if the ex officio members had any voting rights and were they part of a quorum.?
- Date for next meeting. DM said that he thought it was very important that we try and get all the trustees together as we would probably be in a position to agree on a contractor for the renovations.
