Updates from our trips to Kenya.
This photo shows the lintel completed on top of all the walls and circling the building which acts as a header above the doors and windows and ties the walls together. The lintel is a roughly 6″ square cross-section of concrete and steel reinforcing rods. Next up…more courses of bricks and the trusses for the roof.
Addition of the lintel at the top of the walls.
The walls are up to what they call the “Lentil”. The lentil is a steel reinforced concrete beam that runs the full length od the walls just above the top of the door and window openings. It functions like what we would call a “Header” The lentil is the next step. The rains are not too bad this year which normally would hinder construction and material deliveries. Thanks God!
Walls complete to the lentil course.
One day progress since the last post….. The community is excited about what God is doing through His servants.
The first few courses of ricks show the outline of the 4 classrooms. Bricks are and made and fired but are in short supply due to the heavy rains lately. Progress is good and will move quickly between rain storms.
We welcome two new children to our LSH family. Debroah and Florence make 60 children now at the home which is our intended capacity. Last year we expanded the home by constructing a new dorm building, separated the boys from the girls, and now have filled it with God’s children. Praise the Lord! These kids and several others still need sponsor families to pray for and connect with them. Please check out them all here.
