A Quick Update

Here is a quick update of our progress on the buildings. Notice the dormitory rooms have a base coat. Any suggestions for interior colours?

Below is the courtyard of the classroom block, where we'll have parading and morning assembly. Located under the curved section with the crenelation on the second floor (or first, depending on who is reading this!) will be speakers, leaders, etc. at assemblies.

The contractor for the multi-purpose hall is slooooow. It will be an impressive building when it is completed, though.

Finally, the cement for the chapel is being poured (sorry all those people who have tried to help me with the difference between concrete and cement -- one of those things is being poured). Hard to call this a chapel when it will accommodate over 1,000 people! I'm very pleased with the floor design -- it will be very nice.

I had a visitor from Entebbe, Uganda, last week. Patrick Loti is a sculptor of religious art. A very kind friend of mine in Santa Barbara donated funds for a statue of Our Lady Queen of Peace for our entrance way. In fact the generous gift will allow us to have other religious statuary as well. Patrick's work is lovely, and we're excited to see what he does for us.

Here is an example of his work done for our community in Karen, Nairobi.
