This month we open our update with news of a generous donation from Big Steel Box. They’ve provided us with a 40-foot container that will be destined for Kigali in late August. 

Library

In Rwanda, things continued to progress well on the secondary school project. As planned, the library’s gable ends were built, trusses and purlins put on. The supporting columns plus the beam to support the library’s veranda slab was poured. 

Outdoor Auditorium

With more funds available through some support for the Outdoor Auditorium, we were able to get underway on pouring the massive floor, once again mixing it by hand! Over the course of three days our boys toiled under the belting sun.

Upcoming next month:

Library:

• Putting the metal roof and gutters on

• Form and pour the concrete veranda and pathway connections.

• Welding in place the structure to hang ceilings

• Plastering the interior of the Library

Auditorium:

• Finish the brickwork on the columns and one end wall

• Put handrails onto entry ramp.

Landscaping:

• Pathways connecting classrooms, sanitation block, library and auditorium.
