As reported by our representative in Zambia, Mike Jones, on October 13th (edited):
Finishing the window frame plaster, with the young daughter of Nevis & Modest checking things out. These were taken Tuesday. (Next Pic)
For the kitchen/laundry, I should be able to put a roof on columns, no floor or sides, but an excellent shelter for cooking and washing (in tubs) for $1,000.
I plan to connect pipes on Monday. I think I have enough money, with the next withdrawal, to open the bathhouse with a toilet, sink, and shower for each side (boys and girls).

The window glasses are ready for the house and will cost about $200.
We will do more pricing of furniture. I'm looking at bunk beds with a cabinet of drawers sliding under. Individual space like a locker/bin will be there for each child.
Getting Closer,
Mike

Continue to keep this project in your prayers, as we prepare to receive approval to start receiving children to live in this home. According to data provided by UNICEF, Zambia is home to 1.2 million Orphans -nearly 10% of the population. In addition, some reports from this southern African country indicate that there are as many as 100,000 living on the street.
