Some updates from the village, the front of the school is taking shape! A nicely cemented porch area for the school! Finally, we don’t have to worry as much about the sandy and dusty floor in the school.

May Trip 2016

Back here once again at the island and Sa’ang Village! Such great joy to meet the kids once again. It has been a wonderful journey as the team prepared the walls of the vocational training centre on the island and place cement on the sides of the pavement. The kids enjoyed themselves as they learn from the team.

We are now at Sa’ang Village working on the flooring of the school and the team had the opportunity to work with Darryl and Sue; an Australian couple, to building a handwashing basin for children and a little hut.
