Dear Members, Supporters and Friends,
As the year comes to an end, we reflect on the progress we have achieved in the last 12 months with
pride and gratitude.
Thanks to your support we were able to donate a total of 67,056 EUR to our partner schools, at a
1.3% rate for administrative expenses. We were delighted to provide 4 children with sponsors and
welcome 17 new members to our organization (23 new members, 6 exits). In addition, we
successfully applied for funding from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and
Development and were able to support the shipping of agricultural machinery to Tanzania. On the
administrative front, we completed the automatization of our accounting system, and improved
communication with our partner schools by introducing monthly conference calls with the project
managers.

Our sponsored children by Felix Garbe
In the course of 2016 we were able to provide four new sponsorships, which we would like to
introduce to you here.
Last year, Tina Ngano Ibrahim completed elementary school at
Msafiri English school with good grades. In January, Tina was able
to enter neighboring One World Secondary School Kilimanjaro
where German couple Köhler successfully implements
contemporary ideas and methods to educate their students. Tina
settled into the school well and we are pleased that she was
afforded this opportunity.
Ever since her sister started at One World Secondary
School Kilimanjaro two years ago, Angela Frank
Rajabu has been waiting for her chance to enroll as
well. That day finally came in 2016, and Angela says it
was the happiest in her life. She is a highly motivated
and intelligent student and works diligently toward her
dream to become a doctor some day.
Stephen Kungu has six older siblings and his father died five
years ago. His mother occasionally does laundry for the neighbors
to earn a little money. Stephan was unable to attend school for one
year because his mother couldn’t earn enough money to pay the
school fees. The family does not have any savings and any income
is immediately used to cover basic needs. Children such as
Stephen show us again and again how important even small
donations can be.
Faith Wanjiku is one of two children who were orphaned
when their mother died three years ago. Since then, the
siblings have lived with their grandparents who are quite
elderly and find it increasingly difficult to care for the children
themselves. The support their granddaughter Faith received
greatly relieved them and secured Faith’s education.

Looking for new sponsors by Felix Garbe
We would like to introduce the following children from the PEMACA Educational Centre. All four
children come from needy families and are already enrolled in the school. Unfortunately, the families
of these children were unable to afford the school fees several times. We would therefore like to
provide sponsors for them:

Although the Msafiri English School in Tanzania is completed and has all necessary facilities, there
are always children who need our support in order to attend school there. As this is a boarding school,
the monthly contribution is 50€. These four children are currently waiting for support, which, with your
help, we will hopefully be able to provide in the near future.

PEMACA – a report from our project manager Peter
Nyagha by Peter Nyagha
Dear friends, below please find a very brief update of the 2016 school year. We continue to be grateful
for your support and trust. Without you PEMACA would not be possible.
SCHOOL REPORT:
143 pupils (Pre-Unit: ~60; Class 1: ~34; Class 2: ~18; Class 3: ~22; Class 4: ~13)
12 staff (9 teachers and 3 support staff)
The school year was concluded last week. The school will reopen on January 2nd, 2017.
Pupils were given presents and those promoted to the next class were read and
congratulated. The pupils performed well this term. Science and mathematics were
particularly strong.
English is now the established medium of communication at school, an achievement making
us proud. Pupils however continue to struggle writing and reading English. A challenge we
want to tackle next year and for which we hope to receive support in the context of the
volunteer program.
The teaching staff is very motivated and works together very well. Two of our teachers (Irene
and Josef) will use 2017 to finish their college degree. They will attend college during school
vacation, allowing to retain their full-time positons at PEMACA. Irene and Josef have put
aside part of their salaries to pay for the college tuition fees, they do therefore not require
additional support. We intend to be very supportive to allow both Irene and Josef to
successfully complete their college degrees. This will hopefully allow them to become better
teachers benefiting PEMACA.
We will process several salary increases in January, as we have made no adjustments in
the past 3 years. I will further have to let one staff member go as his commitment is not in
line with the rest of the team.
Two volunteer visitors from Msafiri visiting PEMACA in September highlighted their concern
in regards to sticks in the classrooms and their fear of physical disciplining measures.
Discussing this concern with me, I highlighted that I do not approve of any form of physical
disciplining at PEMACA and that I am unaware of any teachers using violence towards the
students. The sticks are merely used for pointing to the blackboard. Disciplining at PEMACA
is conducted by the following measures:
o Cleaning the classroom
o Cleaning school grounds
o Helping with gardening work
To reemphasize that physical disciplining is forbidden and retrain the team on alternative
measures I will conduct a workshop with them at the beginning of the next school year.
We can overall look back on a very successful school year, however, have also identified several
challenges that we would like to tackle next year.

CHALLENGES:
Infrastructure:
o Finishing the construction of class 5 and build class 6.
o Renovating the school including the installation of gutters.
o Building a water tank to improve the school’s drinking water supply.
o Digging a borehole to allow us to establish our farm as a profitable entity that we
can leverage to subsidize the school.
School Operations:
o Although most students can speak English, few continue to have problems in
reading and understanding English. There is need to develop a library and buy
story books of different levels so as to help pupils in reading and understanding
the language.
o The school intends to introduce debates, form a school choir and engage in reciting
poems so as to improve the language.
On behalf of staff, pupils and the entire community at PEMACA I would like to use this opportunity to
wish you all a merry Christmas and a prosperous 2017. I would further like to extend my personal
gratitude towards BONFAREMO. You provide us with prosperity and hope.
Yours faithfully, Peter.

PEMACA – Denis and Helen – a thank-you by Tim-Hendrik Meyer
In November we were informed that the house of our students Helen and Denis had burned down.
The children and their grandmother, with whom they live, were able to get out unharmed, but lost all
the family’s belongings. We received an overwhelming response to our call for donations, and within
one week we were able to provide Helen and Dennis with initial funding. We would like to share with
you this thank-you from their grandmother:
“Dear Bonfaremo. Hello. We are grateful for the effort and help you have shown for us. We have
received 75.000 KES as a way of your help. May the lord add more to the person who is
concerned. We humble ourselves as a way of giving thanks towards you.”

PEMACA – Reinstatement of the volunteer program by Tim-Hendrik Meyer
In the course of this year we were, unfortunately, unable to send any volunteers to PEMACA Primary
School. Through extensive conversations we learned why the principal Peter Ngare decided to reject
the program, and together we defined the following solutions.
Reasons for rejecting the program Solutions
Tasks: Unlike Msafiri, PEMACA Primary School
is not a boarding school. For this reason, Peter
has doubts as to whether meaningful work can
be given to volunteers.
Joint development of meaningful and well-
defined tasks. Documentation of these tasks in
a mission statement.
Volunteers’ Qualifications: Because students
come to the school only for their classes, Peter
particularly needs qualified volunteers who can
help in the classroom.
Exclusively send volunteers who are qualified
educators or are students in the field of
education.
Costs: The costs of the volunteer program
were defined in 2012 and no longer cover
basic living expenses.
Alignment of the volunteer program with the
structure used at Msafiri covering room and
board. 11 EUR per day – in the first 3 weeks
9 EUR per day – after the third week
We would like to present our mission statement and kindly ask for your assistance in finding qualified
volunteers, who are enthusiastic about helping us to improve our classes at PEMACA Primary
School.
Please send applications to [email protected]!
Mission Statement
Students are struggling with learning how to read. The volunteer should therefore
o develop teaching methods to allow students to improve their reading skills. This
includes teaching materials.
o teach these methods to the existing staff.
The volunteer should further
o support the staff by developing learning materials for existing courses (e.g.
worksheets, group exercises, field trips, etc.)
o teach English to students & teachers.
o support in setting up a library and facilitate the adoption of the library by both
students and teachers.
o focus on English literature + means of motivating students to read.

PEMACA – Infrastructure Improvements by Tim-Hendrik Meyer
We were able to support the PEMACA primary school this year with the construction of new
bathrooms, the completion of the fourth grade classroom and the renovation of the kitchen. In
addition, we were able to begin construction on the fifth grade classroom. The construction is divided
into four phases. As of today, we have been able to fund the first two phases:
Phase 1 (foundation): 200.000 KES (1.770 €)
Phase 2 (walls): 200.000 KES (1.770 €)
Phase 3 (roof): 150.000 KES (1.320 €)
Phase 4 (plastering, windows, doors, furniture): 250.000 KES (2.212 €)
It is our goal to complete phase three of the construction by the beginning of the next school year
on January 02, 2017 in order to guarantee the continued operation of the school.
Please use the following designation for donations: <PEMACA grade 5>

Malage – a contribution from Gasiano Senzighe von Gasiano Senzighe
Dear friends,
I would like to use this opportunity to provide you with an update of operations at Malage Vocational
Training Centre. BONFAREMO’s support has made our school more modern and has helped to
establish Malage as a renowned stepping stone towards self-development. Most of our students have
employment and therefore are enabled to run their lives more smoothly. Thanks to you we have been
able to construct 2 classrooms, 1 dormitory for the boys, 1 dormitory for the girls and buy its land, 1
operational borehole and 1 borehole under construction, as well as a solar panel system allowing us
to operate the school almost entirely independently from public supply. Your advice has been most
valuable both to the Centre as well as to me and my family. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS 2016
(1) Solar System: Our school is benefitting from cutting down on our electricity bills from the
national grid by establishing a solar power system. Before we had solar power the electricity
bill at the main campus was about TSH 225,000/= per month. Now the bill is about TSH
17,500/= per month (-93%). This is already a solution to the challenge of paying a lot of
money only for electricity. This amount could be less than TSH 5,000/= per month after the
3 phase system that we have installed functions at 100% capacity (solution is under
investigation). At the campus where the girl’s dormitory is located, the bill has gone down
from TSH 189,000/= to TSH 76,000/= per month (-40%). This bill is still higher because of
the necessity of pumping water from the borehole located on this campus. Solar power
which has been set on this side can only operate the water pump for a short time and we
therefore have to continue using Tanesco (national electricity provider) to pump water. We
are still under investigation to make the system more powerful for all operations. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH for your support in making this great project possible.
(2) School year: In 2016, Malage finished the year with 57 boarding and 11 day students. This
number does not reflect the full capacity of the centre. This was due to the poor economic
situation of many parents and their inability to pay the school fees. The neighboring
vocational training centre was closed because no students applied for the 2016 school year.
Malage became the examinations centre for the end of year examinations. Students from
two other centres came to Malage for this reason. There were 97 students altogether for
examinations of level 2 and 3. My dear friends, I can generally say that Malage Vocational
Training Centre is one of the exemplary schools in our district and region. It is running all
programs according to the rules and regulations of the authorities. The new section of ICT
(Information Computer Technologies) is running more smoothly as we now use the laptops
which you provided to us.
CHALLENGES AHEAD
(1) Operational Cost: After the election of a new president in October 2015, a lot of changes
have occurred. Policies have changed and new taxes have been introduced. Economic
inflation went up and the economy was close to stagnant which made operations at Malage
MO e.V. Adlerstraße 8 D - 84453 Mühldorf a. Inn
BONFAREMO e.V. Bonfaremo e.V. | Adlerstraße 8 | D - 84453 Mühldorf a. Inn | www.bonfaremo.org
13
more difficult. As a private training centre we had to pay taxes, which were not there before
and this has affected our financial ability to pay even teachers’ and workers’ salaries for
November and December 2016. These salaries will have to wait till mid-January next year
after the arrival of students with new school fees.
(2) Borehole at Mkizingo Farm: I am very sad about the work of borehole at Mkizingo farm
which is still not complete. Apart from the time which has costed, a huge amount of money
has been utilized and difficulties still arise. It is unfortunate that we have reached a stage
where to go forward is difficult and to go back is also difficult. The status of the rock in the
borehole is changing every meter. However, according to people with knowledge of geology,
we continue to have good hopes of reaching water soon. If I could have predicted that we
would encounter so many challenges I would have not suggested this project to you. I
believe that it would be as easy as the first borehole. Lucky, our diggers have not yet
despaired and they continue to dig. We are now at 37 meters. According to the geologist,
ground water should be at a maximum depth of 60 meters.
(3) Teacher Training: With new requirements within the VETA program, our centre will remain
at a lower grade (VETA evaluation system), if all our teachers will not have necessary
government accreditation to teach vocational skills. Therefore, our teachers need to update
their knowledge by attending teachers’ courses. The centre currently has no financial
capabilities to support them and the teachers themselves can also not finance these
courses. This year we were able to send one electrical installation teacher to the teachers’
course in Moshi. This course will take 2 years. The course is part-time so that the teacher
is spending half of his time in Moshi and half of this time at Malage. We have 3 teachers
who require the accreditation. Supporting them would cost TSH 2,350,000/= [~1020EUR]
per year per teacher.
(4) Dining Hall: The government has decided to widen the main road next to which Malage
Vocational Training Centre is located. Our dining hall is going to be affected by about 2.5
meters by this plan. Construction work on the road is to begin in 2017. We would like to
rescue the dining hall by changing the structure of one wall and the roof. We expect costs
of about TSH 13,750,000/= [~6000EUR]. Generally, the government is required to carry
these cost, however, based on past experience, compensation can take up to 5 years.
Dear friends, we really appreciate your kind considerations to our daily challenges. You are our true
and valuable partners and we promise to be honest for what you grant us for development of Malage
and the whole community around us. Please feel free to ask questions, send advice and even criticize
if we have gone wrong. We will not be angry for that, because without criticism no improvements.
We wish you all the best daily.
Yours on behalf of Malage community, Gasiano L. Senzighe.

Malage – Final report on the solar power project by Thomas Steinberger
After the initial construction in the first half of 2016 which we reported on in the last newsletter, we
have more good news related to the independent power supply of the Malage VTC. In March 2016
the initial solar power panels were installed to cover around 80% of the Centre’s energy needs.
However, the circumstances were not ideal. For example, the Centre was not independent from the
unreliable public power supply during the rainy season and not all devices could be powered by the
panels (e.g. welding equipment).
In order to further improve the structural and financial
independence of the Centre, the next phase was
intended to expand the power system to a three-phase
system and ideally provide solar power to additional
buildings such as the recently completed girls’
dormitory. Fortunately, we were able to secure 16,500
EUR of funding from the German Ministry for Economic
Cooperation and Development. As a result, we were
able to augment the project-specific donations and
reached a total budget of 19,400 EUR. According to our
plans, the Ministry’s funds should suffice to offset the Bonfaremo reserves for the investments in
March 2016 and to implement the entire project.
Principal Gasiano Senzighe was able to leverage the
existing know how and structures from the first project
in March for the further implementation. The devices
that have been installed so far are working well and
provide dependability for planning additional
investments. The already experienced project team of
six students and two teachers from the electrical
engineering department was able to join forces with the
engineers from our Partner from Arusha, Gilmar
Energy Supply to install the additional equipment in
only two days in late September. Thirty-five solar
panels on the roof of the Centre now generate 8 kWh
of electricity which can be saved in 18 batteries in order
to guarantee a dependable power supply when it is
dark or cloudy. The required equipment was mounted
in a way that enables easy access for regular
maintenance (see picture). We will now gather
experience with this new setup in order to make
improvements if necessary.
As a result, we hope to be entirely independent from the public power grid and expect to eliminate
all energy costs for the Malage VTC. This way we can use the money for other purposes instead.
Part of the saved expenses will be used to create a reserve to cover future maintenance costs, such
as replacing defective parts, thus ensuring smooth operation of the equipment in the long run.

However, the most significant improvement for the Centre is the uninterrupted and more reliable
power supply. Power outages used to interrupt classes and the operation of the Centre on a regular
basis. Now, classes can take place independent of external factors (power outages, daytime,
weather) and students and teachers can rely on light during the evenings.
The entire Malage Vocational & Training Centre sincerely thanks
all supporters of this project!

Malage – the arrival of the tractor for the agricultural branch by Bernd Simon (PROBONO)
As expected since July, the shipping container with the tractor MF135 and agricultural equipment and
other useful items for the Malage Vocational Training Centre arrived on 17 October, 2016 at its
destination in Kisangara, Tanzania. Everyone involved is relieved and happy, especially after the
import and delivery process took an additional toll on people’s nerves and cost additional money.
Unloading the heavy equipment with simple means was an additional challenge.
But we did it!
Once the well has been completed (a project financed by Bonfaremo), the “Malage Farm” can begin
its operation and the modern agricultural studies program can begin. Three of our active supporters
are currently at the farm, and we will discuss our further cooperation with Gasiano Senzighe, the
head of the Malage VTC. Thank you very much once again to all those who supported the tractor
project with donations or hard work. In order to ensure the sustainable development of Malage’s
equipment and of the dialogue process, we kindly ask for your continued support.
