FROM “BUSH BUNNY BRENDA“ DATE: MARCH 14, 2020 |
DOING WHAT’S NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE THANKS TO 2 VERY GENEROUS DONORS, we have been challenged to double the size of our construction team, and raise 2 major construction sites simultaneously. ORPHAN COMPLEX #7 This project began last November, but had to be halted when heavy rains made it impossible to get our equipment to the site. It was restarted last week with walls already going up for the 4 bedroom orphan home. This complex will also include a lunch room/kitchen, 4 bathing areas, and 4 toilets. LIFE SKILLS CENTER FOR TEENS This Life Skills Center for Teenagers will be the first of its kind in our area. This Center will allow students to learn Motorbike and Auto Mechanics, basic computer skills, money management/basic accounting, and many other “life skills” that will help them be a success in the business world. Orphan home #7, 4‑bedroom-house under construction The land for the center is 1.5 miles (about 2 km) from our mission station since that was the closest land available. First phase is drilling a water well which was done TODAY. We are very excited because abundant clean water was found at 180 ft. (60 meters), causing all of us to cheer! https://youtu.be/3aGoWEyFsxo The video shows the water spraying out as the drill penetrated into the water pocket. The manual pump will be inserted into the well next week. Construction will begin as soon as the cement around the well is dry. Water well drilling at Life Skills center area earlier today. THANK YOU TO BOTH THESE DONORS WHO ARE MAKING A WAY FOR OUR TEENS TO COMPETE IN THE CURRENT BUSINESS WORLD. UPDATE FROM LAST WEEK Baby Adlina and (triplet) Antonio have recovered from their illnesses after a few days in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers! Also, we thought you might enjoy seeing this video of our 1st grade class mastering the Bawana Games baton relay. https://youtu.be/HwWEYgw2nb8 BUSH BUNNY’S LAUGH FOR THE DAY Increased Protection from all airborne viruses: Eat 2 pieces of fresh garlic and 1 fresh onion every a.m. and p.m. This “preventative measure” is basically useless, but it sure keeps people at a distance!
