Construction Begins on Other Building

Our second wing now is much closer to being done. A group just left which helped fund, and construct, our roof. We now have two rooms, and the support for a roof. We constructed six trusses on the ground, and then transported them up onto the roof –each truss was rumored to have been upwards of 800 lbs. It was an incredible process. Guys were brought in from the street to help lift these heavy, and awkward, pieces of wood. Thank you so much to the group and all that they did. Right now there is a group of local construction workers who are finishing the project. Hopefully we will be able to complete this project here in the next few months. This new addition will provide two new rooms for the administrators and a library/study hall for the girls.

Here are some photos of the process.


Our "sturdy" ramp.
