Resource Center update

Here is the Community Resource Center. It is being built with donations from my friends and family in America who are reading this blog - good job! The front wall was totally rebuilt and a new roof installed. Look in previous blogs for more pictures.

It will be used for development planning, community meetings, training, education and entertainment. We hope to get a grant for a solar electrical system, computer, printer, TV and DVD player. There will also be a small library.

That's my bike in front with my water container.















Tearing up the old floor.















More work on the floor.















These women are carrying "dambo sand" to be used for plastering the walls. It is a mixture of sand and clay and is mixed with a little bit of cement.















Women can carry a lot and a long way.

Mixing the plaster.



















Leveling . . .















. . . and finishing.
