Well  this is what has gone on for a bit.  The conflict in S Sudan is getting worse.  The refugee camp had 48,000 people and now has 68,000 with the conflict getting worse.  The N wants the oil rights in the S and the people are caught in the middle and run to Uganda.  The Food trucks are seen frequenly going through town. 

This is the ongoing construction at the hospital.  They bring in a big load of huge rock and these guys break them with malls, in the hot sun, and then smooth it out to make the drive way.  I like living in the US where you can just order a load of crushed rock.

I have been walking around town to the bus companys to get them interested in building a rain water catchment tank outside the maternity ward for newly delivered mothers to have water for personal care when it is dry season and the town water is finished.  These are the hospital admin with the head of the airplane company that is here who donated the 4 milliion for a tank.   Now to get Toms school started on it before we leave....

Next is a story!  This is a request that was made a long time ago.  A government school has a section for blind students with some special faciliteis and teachers at it.  It is NOT a boarding school but these boys are not from the area so they have to board. They are sleeping in a classroom so a friend asked if we could do something.  Well I have this ongoing conversation in my head about "I don't really need this, I could use the $ to build an orphanage in Africa"  I havn't done that either so I thought it time to kick into gear.  We decided to investigate and meet the kids so this is the story.  So far they have the right mission statement for a school.  Don't think we will find this in America. 

IS ALWAYS AN ATTENTION GRABBER AND IT WAS AT THE SCHOOL 

The rest of the story is Tom with one of the tutors,

The actual dorm 

Two of the boys that live here
below is the kitchen that the night guard makes there meal in because they don't go home to eat.

Below is the site the dorm will be built on it will have a veranda so the guys can sit outside in the cool of the evening. 

The guy who will oversee the project when we are gone and the one that has a heart for the blind.  Dave from Church Mission Society Ireland.  We asked our kids and friend and we raised the funds for the foundation.  It was dug and they hit a water line. It was redug and made too small, finally re dug and poured this last week.  The official start to the AMBROSE HOUSE has begun.  CMS is providing  funds for the building but it needed a kick start and this seemed to be it. 

Time for lunch   GOTTA GO      Tom and Marc
