Monday, July 4
Bertha, Mary, and Pamela discussed the library plans.
Bennett, the carpenter, went over the plans for the bookshelves with Pamela.
Kate helped unpack and sort the books.
Pamela shelved the books according to their categories. She had labeled each one carefully before leaving home.
This space will hold the library and the new bookshelves after it is fixed up with roof repairs, a new floor, and paint.
Meanwhile, Bennett was supervising the construction of bookshelves for the new library space.
Our youth and trip leaders helped saw the boards.
The boys from the Living Hope transit home helped with the sanding.
Inside, all the books were shelved in the temporary library in Mary's office.
Mary's daughter, Precious, tries out one of the jumbo books. She's a great reader, as you can see on her mom's proud face.
Kate, Veronica, Bertha, Mary, and Pamela.
Today, the first Tuesday in July, is Unity Day in Zambia. The schools have been out both yesterday and today.
The carpenter worked all morning on the bookshelves while we visited an orphanage. We went back this afternoon to help.
Some folks helped with staining the bookcases.
Time to add the shelves
and the backs.
A snack of bananas, delivered to us.
One bookcase done!
Time for some fun too....
All four bookcases in their temporary location, ready for more books.
Thanks for posting. I've been hungry for news of how it's going.
