We are writing from the concrete slab which took all day yesterday and about 50 people to lay! The day before, this was an intertwined network of wire-tied reinforced steel bars and wood scaffolding which took the 4 days before to prepare. It is a wonderful feeling for us all to have completed something this size.
Well after a well earned rest last night we all had a sleep in to 7:30am and we all woke up feeling the effects of such a long hard day but praise God the slab is now completed and the hardest part of this particular project is over. Apart from feeling tired many of the group have terrible lime burns despite wearing gloves, so after breakfast we ventured to the local hospital for treatment.
To thank the extra help from the Bible College we purchase some rice and snacks and drove up the mountains to drop them off. They were very appreciative of the gifts and gave us a tour of the College and asked for a game of basketball which we were happy to play.
It was great to be able to rest today and thank the Mountain Bible College for their help. Please continue to pray for the team’s health particularly Huntz, Aaron, Clare and Stephen with their lime burns.
Just to put a few things in perspective, yesterdays pour was over 30 cubic metres of concrete spread and transported by hand. This is the equivalent of a typical house slab poured by hand, no cement trucks. A big thank you to Beckenham Community Church, Byford Baptist Church and the many individuals who donated money, your donations went along way in providing the steel, cement, rocks and sand that made up this second floor of the children’s home.
Tomorrow will see us go to church in the morning and participate in a food ministry programme in the afternoon.
God Bless
