Classes: Currently we are using the church building and have three classes in session with 50 students (See photo). There are a number of other children registered to begin classes as soon as we can complete the building and have room for the classes to meet. The school is in need of classroom materials - pencils, pens, paper, notebooks, chalk, crayons, etc. (Due to security reasons and weight restrictions we will be trying to purchase these items in-country this year. TW)

Construction Status: Currently we are in the process of pouring the concrete floor for the 2nd level. All of this work is being done by hand. The concrete is all mixed by hand on the ground, then it is shoveled into head-pans and buckets and carried up to the 2nd level and poured out. (Imagine all the yards of concrete that is being moved! This is back breaking work and time consuming; but saves hundreds of dollars. TW) For the last several weeks the work has temporarily been at a standstill while the church tries to put together funds to purchase more cement, sand, stone, lumber and iron rods.

We thank everyone who has helped in this project and ask that you continue to remember us in your prayers. Thank you for helping us to help the children.
