Becoming a reality

Beginning stages of Kafwa Center

The Kafwa Center in Zambia is rapidly taking shape.  This picture was taken several weeks ago and we're now told the windows are all installed and preparations are being made to "raise" the roof.  The building committee is amazing!  We received an email from the building committee chairperson, Samuel Mushibwe, this week assuring us that they not only had a watchman to guard the construction materials, but they also had committee members assigned to watch the watchman.  Now that's true dedication!  No stone is being left unturned to assure success for this incredible building that is bringing new hope to the community.  The list of uses for the building keeps expanding.  The Kafwa health workers now have plans for: preparing school lunches, providing a health room for the sick children, hosting the government clinics for pre-school children, housing a REAL library for the school, providing space for Income Generating Activities such as sewing, paper-bead making, etc. etc.  They are installing electricity (almost unheard of in the community) because, as the electrician says, "in that building there will be lots of activities."
