This week the community came out and volunteered with the
preparations for the container and some general improvements around the
school. It was great to see how many people showed up (I'm sure the free
lunch helped as well lol).
We had ladies cleaning one
of the Give Hope houses that will be used as an office, the classrooms
where we will store the goods while we sort them and tidying the
grounds.
The men worked on (and are still working on) the
container foundation and did all the heavy lifting--three guys to a bag
of sand! My little Spirit truck groaned at carrying the heavy loads.
The foundation will take a few days to complete but we
are making progress. Thank goodness for the pastor I live with,
Jonathan Sichilima. He's a construction engineer and came down this
morning to make sure we're on track and doing everything properly.
Living as a community has its benefits when you need help.
Here are some pictures from the last few days. Click on them to see the larger picture.
