beautiful kids

 

Norman filling in the holes in the classroom floors 12 Oct 2011

Day 3

Check out the new photos today.  Most are of the beautiful kids - one or two of the team working.

This trip the team are staying in the Twiga Hotel in Dodoma.  It's on a bed and breakfast basis.  Lunch is sandwiches and fruit and is eaten at the school.  The team have dined each night since they arrived at John Ntandu's home>  His wife, Vera, has provided a wonderful feast for the guys after they have returned from school and for that they are grateful for the family's generosity.

Tom says that the Hostel should be plastered by the end of this week ready for the electrics.

Day 2

The team have been hard at it today again - they continue painting and Norman is going to fill in the holes in the classroom floors tomorrow.

Tried to load some pictures but it was unsuccessful - hopefully tomorrow night I'll get them on.

Keep praying for the team and for Tom as he prepares for Sunday worship and all the other duties that land on his shoulders as Team Leader.

The Children of Gawaya

These beautiful children are thankful for your sponsorship.  They are so happy to be able to go to school.

Day 1 - Gawaya School

The team are well rested after the long journey and ready for work!  As you see they have started to paint the classrooms (much in need of it to say the least)!

They have arrived in Dodoma

After a long journey they finally arrive in Dodoma.  They are settled in the Twiga Hotel and tonight they dined with John and Vera Ntandu and family.

Tomorrow Chris, Jackie, Sharon, Norman and Joanne will visit Gawaya school and start the work in the classrooms.

Jim and Daniel will start to put the electrics and plumbing into the hostel.  Tom says that it's gonna be a splendid place when it's finished.

Hopefully Tom will get some pictures off to us soon and I'll post them for you to enjoy.

Parachute Jump Postponed

The weather conditions yesterday were not favourable and Ruby's parachute jump has been postponed until 22 October.  She is terribly disappointed but looking forward again to 22nd.  Today is her 53rd birthday and everyone at kids4school wishes her a great big 'Happy Birthday'
