the site now!

the site las tweek

last week at the site was characterised with lots of workgoing on the site, the ladies were doing the rendering,they did good work and according to chris(he is an expaert in mudbricks) he says these houses will last for many years.
we want to ensure that everything randging fromthe houses,the enviroment etc will be safe before we can have the kids into the houses.

The houses!

The houses!

u
The preparations to bring in the children are under way! but we have ensured that the houses are rendered. the women are busy making this happen. rendering of houses is not something new in africa,its a practice that has been around for years.
a mixture of dung form cows,sand,mud and bitumen emulsion make up the mixture required to render the walls. from here the widows are paid to help them raise their income.
we also plan to paint the houses to make them look so beautifull.
we've also planted trees to really make the village of hope have excellence. the trees and flower will make the make come alive and bring hope!
a big thanks to the teams that made this possible! your sacrifice was not in vain!

the village of hope

today we had the friends of hope builders,bernie and group pay a visit at the village of hope,they were amazed at the great work thats taking place at the VOH. they saw the great work the ladies were doing -making bitumen bricks for the village of hope.

Bernie volunteers at a school in tanzania,they were on a tour of uganda when they decided to pass by-we came to know them through damian, i belive they had an interesting time here.
we later paid a visit to hope community high school a local secondary school that we look forward to partner with so that the kids from th evillage of hope shall have their secondary education there.

progress with the bricks

With the ladies continuing to make bitumen bricks, the site is busy, the most amazing thing is that no bitumen brick has brocken,they are intact and water proof. the teams coming will find strong and dried bricks.
