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, 2008, the street kids started spending the night inside. After a pause, construction slowly started progressing again as funds were coming in one dollar at the time. In January 2009 the walls were plastered, and in June we were able to put the lights and fans in. In August we received the funds to finish the house. The first week of September the tiles were laid, and the bricks were ready for house #3 for the walls to come up. In September 2009 they were working on the foundation and walls for house #3 (number 1 on plan below). In October the dining hall was painted inside and out and finally finished. Construction on house #3 stopped end of September 2009, and after a 7-month-break was picked up again in April 2010. By the middle of May they finished raising the walls all the way up to roof level, and in June they finished the roof. Then they added the little room on top of the roof, and finished that part in the middle of July. Now we have to do the wiring and plumbing.

Watch as the houses go up on the compound.

Pray for our construction manager Kossi in Mali (on the left, his work team below) who is responsible for building our base.
