Well that went quick : )

We're in Johannesburg waiting to board for Amsterdam. I can't believe how fast time passed or how much happened in such a short time. The building project is well under way, and we believe God has now given us a long term strategy for the school. It's funny thinking back to the doubt and confusion we had for the first 2 weeks we were here...trying to decide whether to move on from the school simply because someone else had supplied a classroom. We were in so much turmoil because we wanted to be sure that what we were doing was the right thing to do. One night as we were agonizing verbally to our friend, Rolf, he simply said "guys, those kids still have nothing. They still stand in the rain to eat". That was all it took to get us on the right path again. By this time next week, the kids will have some shelter to stand under. It is only Phase 1, but it's a good start. Thanks everybody who has supported this project......especially our wonderful church family at "The Village Chapel". It is well worthwhile. Unfortunately we only have pictures from the first day of work. Anton will email us photos of the finished project next week.
ps; No internet at the airport........will have to wait and send from Amsterdam : )
