Kenya 2014
Our Building Project
It started with digging
Building the foundations
Our first team finished up to the slab
Our second team arrived to build the walls
and they did just that!
The walls got higher…
and higher!
and higher!
Our third team helped lift the many trusses
They plastered…
…and plastered…
…and plastere
d!
They painted the windows and doors many times
and tried their hardest to get a lot of the work completed
Special thanks to John and his great team of fundis!
However your teams trips wouldn’t have been complete without all the wonderful stories you heard, and
the visits you made to our amazing partners.....
Message from Pastor Ben – “The work on the above subject has been going on very well and is about to end this week so as to embark on the roofing of the walkway. If the walkway
roofing was done before, then the plastering of the pillars wouldn't have been possible. The workers had a break of a
week and a half, they would have finished but coming week they will. Say hi to the teams.”
