Dining Hall / Kitchen Work has Begun

The picture below is looking out of a Bunk House window onto the Dining Hall / Kitchen.



Sand is being leveled for the Dining Hall / Kitchen



The trusses have arrived for the bunk wing and the crane to move them is scheduled to arrive tomorrow (Friday, Aug. 7). We are excited to be able to move forward on this project! We have also been working on the Dining Hall and Kitchen facilities. You can see that the block has been laid and the sand is being leveled. Thanks for all of your continued prayers!!!
