Theatre Progress

It's amazing how much work was done on the new theatre while I was gone. It now has a beautiful roof, the ceiling is going in and there are even working lights. You can really start to see how great the new building is going to be. In addition to all of that, there are 3 men here from California who have given a large chunk of their time (almost 2 months) to come and help out (including one who just went home for 5 days for his son's wedding and will be coming back). They have made an unreal number of cabinets and shelving units, painted, and tiled the new floors. They have been such a blessing to Dave, our contractor, who is really feeling the pinch as he has to leave to go back to the US in just a few weeks. The neatest thing has been to see these men teaching the Kenyans new skills that they will be able to use long into the future. They have formed teams and are encouraging one another to work hard and do their best. It's amazing the reach that a building can have in this community.
