Suubi (hope) House is the place to be for HopeBuilders teams coming to Uganda. This is the new HopeBuilders 'guest house' that has been completed in recent times. So much work has gone into making this a wonderful place to stay while we are here. It is all freshly painted in great Ugandan colours, the front yard has been landscaped and is now just waiting for the lawn to grow - while the back yard has been totally transformed - see below.
Two new rooms are being added to the back yard in time for the Schoolies Revolution team's arrival in November. Even Reuben got into the swing of things by helping lay a few bricks 'after work'.
Below is the view from the new deck that is being constructed on top of these rooms. With a bit of a last minute change the building crew is now in full swing of constructing this deck. It will be an amazing place to enjoy a soda at then of a hard day while taking in the wonderful view over Lake Victoria. Uganda is truely a beautiful country.

But soon the work begins in earnest - the ladies were in to the rendering before it got a little bit muddy. The cow poo mix was not a great hit with them!!
The Kitchen roof is going up with the first trusses going up yesterday!!
We continue to have may wonderful African experiances as we see village life working out before us and in so many ways see the cycle of poverty being broken.
The walls have been bricked up to the roof and the boys are working hard to finish of the bricks ready for their final painting.
A meal with the children was certainly a highlight. The village is growing so half of the team had dinner with mama Loyce Agnus and the other half joind mama Peris and Rose. This was topped of by a great devotion time where we sung prayed and encouraged eachother. It is such a joy to be able to be part of village life and share this time with mothers and children.
