Buildings on the increase

 

For the last several months, we have been in a very busy building phase.  We are finishing the 4th house at the Village and working on 2 more.  The Director & Visitor house is nearing completion.  We have begun construction of a 3 unit staff building to house staff.  We are nearing completion of our Food Processing building where we will be able to prepare food for take away and restaurant near the Great North Road.  The foundation is now being prepared for a Community Center, to be built with the help of a group - Faith in Action - from a church in Wisconsin in May.  Plans are in the works for school buildings, an outdoor type eating area for the restaurant, more houses for children, and another staff housing building.  A visit to our Village and property during work hours finds workers welding beds and window guards, the tractor hauling blocks from one work site to another, work going on in the fields we have planted,  buildings being constructed, children playing, land prepared for grass and plantings, and plumbing, electrical, and carpentry activities.  So much has been accomplished in such a short amount of time.  Yet we know that the children needing a family and loving care only get older, so we want to proceed without delay.
