Tin Roof Sunday, and many years to come - June 26th, 2010

Tin Roof Sundaes are one of my favorites, but seeing the roof on the first unit for 80 girlsĀ  in our dormitory project is a real treat. We have raised over $70,000 on our way to building this dorm for 160 girls. We have another $100,000 to raise, and we need lots of help, but we can be very proud of our progress so far. And the girls will be able to move into the new dormitory as soon as the walls are plastered, electricity installed, and other details. Can’t wait to see those pictures!

Raising the ROOF! - June 26th, 2010

The roof takes shape on Unit 1 (for the first 80 girls in the dormitory, and their matrons). Roof rafters carried by students to the work site are in place over the matrons’ rooms and the longer section for the students.
