First day in Gleno

ByAndrada

On the first day in March and we travelled to Gleno, but after an interesting ride – many areas of the road were sunken, collapsed, washed by the floods, etc…

just a few examples

but knowing that Luke is one of the best drivers I know, I was also enjoying the unique views of Timor – which are magnificent!

But the journey was not finished yet, because just 1 km away from our destination, the car broke down… what are we going to do?! Not exactly the introduction I had in mind with the people in Gleno, but we got to meet them as they surrounded the car to provide roadside assistance🤗
Luke got creative and made a few changes under the bonnet … he could tell you what, but you might not believe it… what I can say is that I saw him using a combination of the pedals and the window-squirting mechanism to accelerate and feed the motor with petrol😳🤩

…but it worked because we got to our destination… safely! So grateful to God for my man! What an adventure!

This is what we found in the house! … I needed that – Mt 17:20

Surprisingly, the digging was completed in just about two weeks, which is quite impressive when…

    Finally: get to work!

    ByDaniel Micu

    After purchasing the land we thought that the first priority would be to have the much needed water for our daily needs., as well as for the irrigation of our vegetable garden and fruit trees. We are worried, also, to ensure the supply of drinking water to the local population of the village of Hlalameta, avoiding your displacement…

    My Key!

    ByAlicia Gugu

    This morning before I began walking from our rental house out to the building site where we are building the community center, I locked the door to our rental house and carefully put the key in my pocket as I began down the dusty road. “Dusty” is key (pun intended!) because anything small that lands…

    If you thought getting to leave Australia was a challenge (with cancellations, delays, rescheduled flights, requests for exemptions, tests, etc)… you would be right… but I think that was only to prepare us for what was to come 😉 On the evening of 27.02.2022 we arrived at the hotel in Darwin after a full day of flying……
