Well
and watertower were completed in July 07, and after a five-week break
because of lack of funds, work on the wall around the property was continued
and completed in the beginning of Oct 07. The first house went up, and
though unfinished, we moved into it on February 4th, 08. After a 6-week
work stop for lack of finances, work was picked up again to finish our
house which was completed in April 08. Work on the dining hall started
immediately with the goal of having our services inside during rainy season,
having another family move in, and allowing street children to spend the
night on our property in safety. On June 11, 08, construction stopped
for lack of funds, but was being picked up again in the last half of July
to proceed for another two months. In August the roof was put up, and
in September most doors and windows were put in. On September 12 the street
kids started spending the night inside. After a pause, construction slowly
started progressing again as funds are coming in. Right now the walls
are being plastered.

Watch as the houses go up on the compound.
Pray
for our architect Peter in Georgia (left), USA, who is making our project
known to potential donors.
Pray for our construction manager Kossi in Mali (below on the left, his
work team on the right), who is busy working for us.
