>Dear Keith

>I am writing on behalf of the Matumaini Rehabilitation Centre - Kenya
>
>Matumaini is a centre (registered as a Self-help group & Charity No. 
>283692) that provides education and medical care for disabled Kenyan 
>children.  There are about 45 children with either physical or 
>mental disabilities who stay at the centre during term time and go 
>to the local primary school for their education.  Our aim is to 
>integrate children with disabilities into the community as far as 
>possible thus giving those children a sense of self-worth and 
>dignity.  There is also a vocational training school for a further 
>40 students, again there is a mix of able-bodied and students with 
>disabilities.  Within the centre, there is also a clinic and a 
>nursery for the younger children.  In addition, the centre supports 
>a further 40 disabled children in the community, providing funds for 
>school fees, surgery etc.
>
>The centre comprises a hostel that costs about £12,000 per year to 
>operate, the training school (about £6,000 per annum) and the clinic 
>(about £3,000 per annum).  Financing these projects is a continuing 
>struggle as funds are from private sources.  However the Government 
>assists by providing teachers within the primary school and 
>occasionally some maize is donated to the hostel.
>
>The centre is located in an area with many sawmills and many large 
>mountains of sawdust that are just left to rot. I was wondering if 
>you could give us any advice on how I may be able to turn this 
>sawdust into fuel for the centre, preferably a low cost method.
>
>I'd be very greatful for any advice you could offer.

>All correspondence should be addressed to Mr. S. Checkley, Box 62,
