Shipping Containers x4

Although the road needed fixing, meetings and discussions were held with the chefe-suco, who in turn talked to the relevant land owners… but after all that, four 20ft shipping containers were delivered to the site.

The preparation for the foundations has also started and a gallery showing the delivery and the progress of the works can be also seen below:

Preparing for the foundation (digging holes, making reinforcement brackets, welding, mixing cement,…).

And sometimes the little things matter too – Luke fixed the cement mixer (so instead of the removal of a rock that stopped the rotation of the weel, he put a spring that he found on the road) and it works great!

More work needs to be done, but we are so thankful to God for everything He helped us achieve so far.
