They painted the windows and doors many times and tried their hardest to get a lot of the work completed Special thanks to John and his great team of fundis! However your teams trips wouldn’t have been complete without all the wonderful stories you heard, and the visits you made to our amazing partners..... Message from Pastor Ben – “The work on the above subject has been going on very well and is about to end this week so as to embark on the roofing of the walkway. If the walkway roofing was done before, then the plastering of the pillars wouldn't have been possible. The workers had a break of a week and a half, they would have finished but coming week they will.
