We just got back from the village…

And the “hut” is coming up a cracker!
We drove out with Uncle Fred this morning with: timbers for doors and window
frames, 600m of barbed wire for fencing and hinges. The “hut” will have two
doors and six windows. This post will be a short one - I'm tired and my
fingers are finding it hard to press the correct sequence of keys on the
laptop.
There are photos and these will be posted over the next few days.
It's a cracker all right!
Thanks to the hard toil, sweat and dedication of the following men and women
from Kaubasis our dream home is a now a reality:
Uncle Joel + Aunt Rose
Pastor Joseph na meri bilong em.
Bruce (from Pene)
Kono (also from Pene)
Young Bruce (from Gumini District)
Papa Kerema
and of course the kids!
An unbelievable experience and adventure for me personally…
The dream just keeps getting better!!
Crackers!!!
