MYNYDD BACH SCHOOL, L.O.S.T.  -  UGANDA

CHARLES’ AND STAN’S RECENT SITE VISIT

We arrived on site on Monday 10^th  May.   For the last six months we have only been able to see progress of the building works via e-mail photographs.   What a joy it was to see at first hand the main school building standing where only a concrete floor slab was when we left last November.

I am pleased to report to all our generous friends, that the brickwork is now 95% completed and on Tuesday 18^th May, the day we left Lira, the roof timbers were in place to over one third of the building.

When funds allow, we have around forty workers on the project - joiners, bricklayers, general labourers etc.   The income our workers are receiving is making a difference to their living conditions in this tragic time in Lira,

The roof covering material has now been delivered from Kampala and work to complete the roof to the first section of the main building is underway.   We have placed orders and paid for the windows and doors for this same section, classrooms 1, 2 and 3, along with the w.c. block and the library.

The whole site has been secured with the perimeter fence completed.   It is hoped to plant a screen hedge to this fence in the very near future.

All in all, the project is coming along very well. It is generating much interest and excitement in Lira that Christians in Wales have a love and care for them and are putting bricks and mortar in place for their future.  

Please do continue to support us. 

Without your help none of this would have taken place.

Thanks be to GOD.
