Update on Patrick and Apprentices
Dear Friends,
Here is another update on all the fabulous progress Patrick and the apprentices are making in Uganda.
In addition to the construction work you see in the photos, you can also get a glimpse of the attention that is given to creating a beautiful environment and to the comfort of those using the facility.
1/4 The ladies were busy with landscaping and planting flowers.
1/4 Here is one of the planters at the front of the building.
1/6 I was able to purchase two delivery beds and a new bassinet to replace some of the well-worn equipment in the maternity facility.
1/6 The apprentices made remarkable progress in a short time. This year the weather has cooperated and we haven’t experienced the drenching rains of two years ago. Apprentices did the form work for the lower ring beam and crossbeam. They also fabricated the rebar and poured concrete.
1/10 Today the apprentices worked hard on the interior plastering of the underground water storage tank. They are getting better and better at finishing. I’m so proud of them for their confidence in what they do.
1/11 The plastering was finished; the scaffolding can still be seen.
1/13 We’re making progress and can see the “light at the end of the tunnel.”
1/14 Rebar and finishing parts of the underground water storage tank were completed.
1/14 The apprentices did some tremendous work of pouring an 8 inch reinforced concrete slab for the underground water storage tank. Bless their hearts.
1/14 We started installation of the bathroom fixtures, including a shower.
