Schoolies Revolution 2012 - Gets it done!

m
The team and the HB Builders celebrate - we are at ring beam!
Job Done!!
Well despite some early setbacks with rain slowing down and even stopping work and then not having power for a number of days, this awesom eteam of young people got the job done - they completed house number 8 up to the ring beam. The last few days they even had to mix the majenga by hand in a wheelbarrow. The team was extremely happy and we are incredibly proud of all of them.

United in sport and work!

The team also played a game of football (soccer) with the HopeBuilders' Ugandan builders. This fantastic group of guys had been talking the game up all day, saying that it was "judgement day for the schoolies", I think this was especially because of the loss they suffered last year. They were very excited when they received the team set of football jerseys, compliments of the Knox Churches Soccer Club, and they looked good. Unfortunately this did not help them even this year, as they went on to suffer a 6 - 3 loss to SR12. It was an awesome afternoon and everyone enjoyed themselves including all our children from VoH. In fact, our VoH children were giving the locals quite a hard time, whenever a goal was scored against them or they made a mistake. The young boys of VoH have now requested a set of tops for themselves - could be a definite possibility :)


We have onevmore day in the Village and saying "good bye" will not be easy. It is our prayer that the sign at the gate of our village takes life for this team - "May all who enter be blessed and may all who leave be a blessing!"
