Evicted by Paul Opp!

Since our arrival, we have seen and experienced the completion of building number 2. When we first arrived, only the bottom floor was completed (kitchen and dining hall), but over the course of this last year, the second floor has taken shape. The roof was put up, walls constructed, lights put in and now one room has been finished. Paul politely told us to move up into the new room, and we eagerly went. With three new volunteers coming, we needed to get out and moved in.

The new room has been very nice. The floor is tiled, there are now windows on both sides –allowing for a draft at night –and we thoroughly enjoy the new and improved bathroom. There were some amazing groups that came down and donated both time and money to be where we are today (we are all thankful), but there is still more needing to be done. We lack money to complete the other administrator room and the computer room/library for the girls. With these two extra rooms, we would be able to move up the other administrator couple, freeing up another room for more girls/sick bay , and with the library, have a more productive place to study –it would also allow for group projects, computer related homework, and programs for the kids.

Here is the course that building 2 has taken since our arrival:


You can see the building in the background. When we first arrived, they had just recently finished the bottom part of this building (kitchen and dining room).
After a few months, money came in to start work on the two administrators rooms.

In Christmas of 2008, we were able to put on a much needed roof. The roof is now complete as is the first room (far left) on this building. The second administrator room (middle with no door) has yet to be finished as well as the computer/library/study hall room.
