AT LAST proof that the Green-house is UP, and planting begun. The intention is to plant Tomatoes in stages to give a fairly constant crop. It is hoped to SELL as well as USE. The Greenhouse is in the centre of the plot, and other veg is being planted either side of it. It covers an area of 30 x 12 metres, and is sited on the Testimony House compound. Thus we have completed all the preparation in setting up the various projects planned to assist us in helping with our Cost of Living. This structure has been professionally erected, and we have had the soil tested, and planting is being carried out by the Forestry Department. After that it will be up to our own staff to keep it going and in good shape. It comes with two water tanks which feed the 'drip-feed' lines that keep the area watered. The supplier has guaranteed the work for three years. We shall see. It is in a reasonably sheltered situation, but we do get occasional strong squally winds, and of course it gets quite warm at times.
Some weeks ago I shared that work was going on in our Nursery School in order to expand and improve the Toilet Facilities for the children. This has now been completed, and we are happy with the outcome.
What you see here is the Boys section, the baby toilets separated by a curtain from the wash basins and entrance. The photo on the right showing all six of the toilets from another angle. The Girls Section is on the other side of the wall with its own entrance. All are now in use as from Thursday this week, when the School opened, and once again it is the School Parent Body that have financed it.. This entire block of buildings was originally built by TEAR FUND from the UK, way back in the late 70's as a Training Course for Mechanics. It was, with their approval, later converted into Primary School in 1983.
=====================================
THIS WILL BE A SHORT BLOG for this week. We have had quite a lot of humdrum and very ordinary things going on day by day, including extras such as the Interviewing of more than ten shortlisted teachers to fill four vacant places on the School Staff, and also making unsuccessful visits to seek for places for our job hunters, and so on. Nothing very remarkable or sensational. I hope you will excuse me from just rambling on. Hope to bring more next week, God Willing, and in the meantime we shall be remembering to pray for you all. God Bless you every day.
John, Esther and Daryl Green
