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.

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