Construction Update #13

Progress on the 3rd building (the 2nd Children's Home) is going great! The walls are up and the trusses have been added to the roof. We expect the tin to be installed on the roof by the end of next week or earlier! 

Jeff and Tawnya are now in Abidjan preparing to travel back to the States for the short furlough, but before leaving Tanda they picked out tile and paint colors in case work progresses that far. Kouame, who serves as our General Contractor alongside Jeff, will keep the project going while they are gone. 

The carpenter has built the doors and window frames and they're ready to install. He is also working on the doors and closets. Once the roof is on the plumbing and electric can begin!
