Children of Mabhuti has launched a special initiative : Christmas in Mabhuti.

This initiative goal is to guarantee that every child in Mabhuti will have a present for Christmas. In order to succeed we will need everyone’s help.

I have amazing news ! Today we inaugurated a new school for the children of Mabhuti.
It is the fifth school that we built and opened since the association Children of Mabhuti was created, back in 1983.

More than 100 children will be attending classes in this school.
Another one should be opened by the end of next year.

I want to thanks Beneto&Beneto which has strongly contributed to the success of the project. This school would not exist without their generous support.

Now. We all know that you are all great friends of the earth. So we are very thrilled to announce the opening of a new shelter in the Mérator Jungle which covers 1/3 of Mabhuti. Now any lost or sick animal has found a home! Voluntary local workers help international scientists take care of harmed or stray animals before assisting their progressive release in their natural environment. Gorillas, monkeys, rainbow lorikeets, wild boars, green-striped cats, even panthers sometimes, and so many more will get better before returning where they belong.

More photos soon, but as a teaser, let me introduce you to our veteran Benbi, a 16 year-old silver-crested monkey :

The centre is called the Sandrine & Carlo Jitobuit Centre in honour of our founders’ generous support. Sandrine and Carlo Jitobuit were here for the inauguration of the centre and Sandrine spent 2 weeks helping the workers and scientists – thank you !

Hello Bento, hello Fugul, so you’ve just started training at the My’Bhuti Centre. What training did you enroll in?

Bento: I’m taking carpentry classes and Fugul is following the cooking program – he wants to be a cooker ! [laughter]

Fugul: so what ? You’re so happy when I bake for you! … More seriously, I’m very happy to be given this opportunity. I used to work in the fields with my uncle and my brother and there was no way I was going to go to training instead. We need every penny that we earn, you know.

So tell us about a typical day of yours

Fugul : we wake up at 5.30 and go to work in the Berden laboratories. We help them prepare the experiments and clean the place. At 9 we have a 25′ break and a small snack – sometimes we get American chocolates! At 11 o’clock we finish work. and have lunch at the laboratory restaurant. Then in the afternoon we start the training from 12.30 to 4 – sometimes 5. It’s intense! But I love it.

How did you enrol in the program – how did you hear about i?

Bento: I told him about it! My mum works at My’Bhuti Centre so she knew before the others. First they asked the employees what kind of training they thought would be useful and interesting for us, Mabhutians. Then, they organized a meeting for all those who wanted to go in the program. You can enrol from 11 to 18.

Fugul  : yes, I would have heard about it anyway [laughter]. The whole village knew about it very quickly – it’s a beautiful thing you know. I hope to make my dream come true now – that would never have happened a year ago. I was working in the fields, thinking that this would be my life forever. Now, every night when I go to sleep, I can’t wait to wake up and go to cooking training at the My’Bhuti Centre.

So tell us more about your dreams – how do you imagine your lives later?

Bento: I would like to be a carpenter and build a wooden table with five chairs for my parents. And I would like to travel to America.

Fugul: Why America? I like it here. I want to open a restaurant and cook Mabhutian food, but also foreign dishes. I would like to make my people discover international cuisine – French fries, ratatouille, beer [laughter].

Thank you Bento & Fugul and good luck!

please take off your shoes, lean back and relax. You are on My’Bhuti new homepage – we’ve totally revamped the site and we hope you like it.

Have a great journey, and as the Perahto Ancients say: “it’s always time to stop by”.
