We have 3 -9 hour travel days during our 12-day stay there. Pray for safe passage and a strong vehicle. We also hope to meet some of the children that will be living in the first home. Let us begin to pray for these children that need our care.
The following is an update for our Africa Missions Director, Mike Jones (edited):
When we couldn't get out with materials a few weeks ago, a little bit of digging was done on the 3rd house foundation. This shot is from the pit latrine. I've lined up materials to be loaded tomorrow morning. I discovered a bad U-joint on the lorry. It should be repaired early enough for me to make the delivery, provided it doesn't rain.
Bricks are being delivered on ox carts at no extra charge. In the background, children from the school enjoy pumping water and catching the drips to drink.
A small amount of finish work remains in the pit latrine. Golden, our local project lead, is making us a door from the Mukwa planks we had already purchased.
The walls are going up fast on our 2nd home at House of Faith Orphanage. We'll need to get materials out tomorrow. It will be a ruff ride, but I think I can make it with the lorry loaded.
The ladies wanted work too. They haul water, bricks, and whatever is needed at the site, while taking care of their babies along the way -and they get paid the same as the men.
See you a week from Thursday!
God Bless, Mike
