is far overcrowded. Sometimes there
boys area there are 7 sets of bunkbeds 3
high...21 beds in the size a room appr. 15 x 20.
A dormitory is under construction.
Everything in Kenya is built out of
masonry. Wood is scarce so some form
of rock and mortar is used. In the dorm, the walls are stone with mortar and the ceilings are poured concrete.
Our job was to remove the vertical support pieces. They use a maze of poles, all tethered together for strength. The quickest way to remove all this is to beat everything apart with heavy crowbars... Our one man wrecking crew was Jeff Forney pictured above. Just move aside and he will take it from there. When he gets finished, we go into the room and remove the piles of debris that he has created. Go get 'em Jeff !!!
You can see the remarkable progress is just three days of work. We were able to clean out 2 large dorm rooms, a dining room complete with kitchen, a dorm supervisor's room with bath, the hallway and main entrance to the dorm wings. In the photos above are a wonderful crew of able bodied men and women. I am thankful to have spent our days helping to further the progress of the dormitory construction. The cast of characters above are, Jeff, Linn, Rhena, Nathan and Wes.
