Since have been mainly concentrating on finishing off there’s not a great deal of exciting things to talk about! Everybody has been working so hard it’s been all hands to the pumps to get everything completed. We even had to cancel our football rematch although we rescheduled it for Thursday evening. Here’s a summary of what’s been accomplished over these 2 weeks.
Over 1500 KM have been driven by Elias in his bus through 1 monsoon and many torrential downpours.
At Eshimuli Guest House more then 3500 bricks have been carried over 40 meters and up 3 flights of stairs and then laid to make 6 new rooms with bathrooms. Nearly 200M of electrical wiring as been laid to install 30 new lights, and 19 new light switches. To brighten the place up over 60 litres of paint applied to the walls and ceilings.
At the Chadwick library the water tank was repaired to enable the toilets to work for the first time in many months. To aid students in their learning a wireless network has been installed with two laptops and a network printer has been configured.
Over at Shiatsala Secondary School over 20 Litres of
paint applied to the bare mortar walls in the computer room. Almost 100M of electrical cable has been run to supply 17 Sockets, and 10 florescent strip lights. 25M of wooden benches has been built from scratch. 24 panes of glass have been fitted. 1 Wireless mobile gateway, 1 Network attached storage device and 21 Computers have installed and configured. 7 teachers have been trained!
Oh and collectively we consumed at least 38 Imodium tablets.
It’s been an amazing couple of weeks and apart from all the work we have done we have made many new friends.
We couldn’t have done this without the support and prayers of everyone back home so we thank you all.
