Medical Centre Update!

Septic tanks going in!.... probably not the most exciting photo!... but very necessary!

.

It's exciting to see this project coming together. As you can see the concrete shell is complete and looking great!

.

It's a good size building, Twelve metres by nine, with a waiting room, a room for the doctor to see their patients, two spare bedrooms for poorly children and their carers to stay in when needed. It will have a small kitchen, a bathroom and toilet and a veranda.

.

It's been great to work alongside the guys building the medical centre, they are really enjoying this project and have kept up a good standard of workmanship throughout.

.

I pick them up at 6.00 am so they don't have to walk the five miles from their homes to the orphanage. I then spend most of my time sourcing materials in Maputo, and generally keeping an eye on the job.

.

We now have most of the roof trusses built and I'm back off to Maputo tomorrow with a lorry to pick up the roof material.

.

It is good to see it taking shape so well.

.

Meanwhile we are just putting the finishing touches to the new room at the orphanage, which will enable us to start to take more children in again!
