What's Up and happenin'!

Here’s a picture of the first floor going up quickly. Your help has made this possible and the kids are really excited to see the building knowing that the new classrooms will be there.







The next picture is of the new stove. It can handle cooking for 400 kids! Ann, the cook here, is very excited. She is so happy to have a good working area now, although they are working on the kitchen while she's trying to cook and I can tell she wants everyone out of her area!

Another project that came up is bunk beds. Some of the kids are sharing beds (girls with girls, boys with boys of course) so we wanted to get everyone their own bed which means purchasing about 20 bunk beds! So please pray for continued providence to the Academy so these and many more projects can be fulfilled.
This picture I thought was funny because this is the atmosphere we work with here. Talking business with a cow following you!







Here are a couple of boys getting water from our water supply. They can drink and cook with this water without fear of contamination. Praise God for His providence in this area!









We wanted to take some “family” photos before leaving and this is one of Ruth (on the left) and Catherine. We are really going to miss them!

Please continue to pray for Nice View and the students here. We recently went to a family to say “pole” (poh – lay/sorry) because the mother had died. Her two daughters go to school at the Academy and now their grandmother is taking care of them. We have invited them to board at the school after the burial. Grandmother gladly accepted and was very thankful for the offer of help. There are many more stories like this one, please remember all the families here in your prayers.
