Yesterday we connected the water- tank.

It was a pleasure to see the villagers coming from far with their 20 Ltr jarricans. We found out that water is a REAL BIG problem in th area!

What a blessing to provide safe drinking water for this village.

Merry Christmas Osia!

In the background you can see the roofwork for the first dormitory block that is going to function as mini-classrooms for the beginning.

Today we have made a start on the roof-work.

 

Here, the boys are making a sample truss.

This will be used to replicate all the trusses.

Then we hope to put on the puttins,

followed by the roof-tiles

You are looking at the wall that is being built at the driveway. This is the private road that we had to buy to give us access to the main Highway. (Bugiri to Malaba, Kenya)

 

The driveway is ~100 meters long
