Thursday August 30th. Pouring floors now. Some of the Kenyan guys learn serious mixing technique.
Saturday September 1st. Progress on the well digging. The 2 man team consists of this (boss?) man at the top...
and this more humble fella down below. About 15 feet (5m) deep at this stage. The target depth was about 100 feet, as the water table was reckoned to be about 60 feet usually.
Saturday September 1st is celebration day!
And these guys are set to enjoy the occasion. The Glory Worship Centre church came with PA (what? no electricity?), childrens choir, youth choir and supporters to make a joyfull noise. Fortunately by hiding the generator on the far side of the office/house we could still hear the music.
Even Kenyan TV (KBC) were there in force, as there were government officials to film.
Matt generously helped the Minister for Children's Affairs lay the "foundation stone" for posterity.
A newly created floor made a stage for speeches to be made by many enthusiastic dignitaries. Here, Chege excells himself. Esther Kiarie and Matt Barrow look on, with the regional governor, children's minister, police chief and a few other local pastors.
Afterwards seven of the first workers went to the airport for the return to the UK. Now we were down to 8 from the UK.
Sunday September 2nd. A restful day involved a visit to the Glory Worship Centre in an upstairs Nairobi office. The choir performed some lively songs.
Tuesday September 4th. With most of the floors poured now it was time to start on the second main wall, a straightforward task for our Ugandan team.
Mike and Dennis were making great progress on the front wall, despite some irregularities in the block sizes.
