Hi all,

we are in Kampala so I thought I would take some time and tell you a bit about the last 13 days we have been in Karamajo!!!

The Bonda!!!!!

It is almost done and Donna will move in in a day or so. Craig started laying bricks for it last Sat. and finished the brick work the next Sat. and Bob put the roof on and Laurie and Donna painted and are moving her in as this is being written.
The bricks that Bob had his crew make are great and the mission will be using more of them for other construction projects in the near future.

Craig was putting 3-4 rows up a day and then window and door frames went in and the up to the roof. They tried something new for roof supports, instead of wooden poles Bob welded a metal frame out of pipe and rebar support for the thatch to be tied to. No termites can eat the support (just the thatch)@!!!!! Ed welded the door and window frames and made a door and welded hinges and Donna painted. Ed put screens on the windows and when he has some spare time he will make a screen door for her.

Donna will be in her new home by Wed. this week!!!
Later electricity will be put in, but she will use a kerosene light for now.
Let's see if I can post some pictures for you!!!
