Above is the budget in Swahili for the Sunday School open-air building that we plan to build in Ngorongo village, the same budget we used for the construction in Mloka (click ‘Video Footage of Children’s Playground and Sunday School built by EastARM in Mloka, Rufiji‘). This does not include the budgets for the playground or pastor’s parsonage. Some key words to highlight, ‘hesabu ya kujenga kituo cha watoto = budget to build children’s place’ ‘tofari = cement blocks’ ‘mchanga = sand’ ‘fundi = construction worker’ ‘zege = concrete’ ‘sakafu = floor’ ‘kokoto = small stones’ ‘nondo = rebar’ ‘milunda = wooden poles’ ‘mbao = milled wood’ ‘mabati = tin roofing’ ‘misumari = nails’ ‘gari = transport vehicle’ ‘slet bolt = thread bolt’ ‘nut na washel = nuts and washers’ ‘ kazi zote za jengo = all work of building’ ‘jumla = total’
11,198,000 Tanzania Shillings = $7,000 CAD

PASTOR FAMILY PARSONAGE = $30,000
SUNDAY SCHOOL BUILDING = $7,000
NGORONGO KIDS PLAYGROUND = $3,000
