Apprentices Shine in Post-Christmas Build, Local Vendors Step Up
Building Progress and Community Impact: A New Year of Growth and Gratitude
As we step into a hopeful new year at Teach Men to Fish, our apprentices have shown remarkable dedication and hard work. With the Christmas festivities behind us and the rains giving us a brief respite, they have diligently continued with the critical tasks of framing and shoring up the deck of our ongoing construction project.
Thanks to the unwavering support of our local vendors, building materials have been arriving consistently, keeping our momentum high. We're thrilled to report that almost half of the deck is now prepped and ready for the next phases—roughing in the electrical and plumbing work.
Today marked another significant milestone with the delivery of concrete bags and reinforced rebar, setting us up perfectly to begin pouring the second floor concrete slab. These materials are not just the backbone of our structure; they symbolize the strength and resilience of our community coming together to support this cause.
During a recent visit to the maternity facility at Naama Mityana, I was greeted with warmth and profound gratitude. The head of the facility shared touching stories of how our contributions have dramatically improved the lives of mothers in the community. It's a vivid reminder of why we do what we do.
Each day brings us closer to our goal, fueled by the hard work of our apprentices and the generous support of local vendors and donors. Their combined efforts are not just building structures but are also fortifying the foundation of our community for generations to come.
