We finally got a load of rocks today. Should collect 3 loads Wednesday. We did get a flat tire today in the process.
The lady is washing sheets. These sinks are being used for everything. They are almost indestructible.
Today the children were helping with the carpentry, cooking, and moving sand. Jo Anne interviewed the family of potentially the 12th child today -a 2 week old baby. The extended family are taking a day or two to think about what they should do with the child.
The concrete lintel/ring will be poured this week. The next day after concrete lintel/ring is poured, the main kitchen/laundry floor will be poured.
I delivered a load of cement today. We will use it all and may need a few more. I'll need to withdraw 1000 tomorrow and Wednesday if possible. We are going to Livingstone tomorrow, picking up more furniture, and to pay for the windows, door frames, and the fire doors I'm picking up Wednesday. We will also need another withdrawal for payroll near the end of the month.
The primer coat is being painted as I write. It will look good. Jo Anne brought the other house "parent" for the 2nd home to start learning the ropes with Elizabeth.
So the 2nd house will be filling very soon and we are on schedule to secure the 3rd house with floor poured and no internal walls.
I've been thinking about our project in Kasama. I think we might do something different there with the buildings. Things like cement and fuel are a bit more expensive due to the transport costs. We could possibly build together like town houses saving some walls, and save the cost of a roof by building 2 story houses with the upper level being a large room that could be used for many things, including classrooms.

Keep WOR Zambia in your prayers, and please consider how you might help the children there.
