New kindergarten project

The kindergarten is finished for this year
as we mentioned in a earlier blog posting.
The area that we used was actually very
small and one of our goals was to get or
make an area that was at least a little bit
bigger.
The original kinder had space for 20 kids
and the new building will be able to handle
30.
It isn't actually a new build but really a rebuild.
The mission that we are in was actually a
kinder during the time where the South African
Defense Force built and occupied Omega.
We are really building back up the area that
was used as the kinder area at that time.
It was destroyed as people salvaged roofing
materials and anything they could. But now
we are rebuilding it with whatever we can
find. We are looking for any materials we can
get our hands on.
In the picture you can see the beginning of
our project. We found some old zinc roofing
sheets and also you can see some reclaimed
bricks that we will use for the walls.
We think that it is worth all the effort we can
do to increase the number of kids that will
have the chance to attend and receive a good
foundation for the beginning steps in their
education.
The name of our kinder is Emmanuel Kindergarten
but after rebuilding the old kindergarten we
may have to consider naming it the Lazarus
Kindergarten. It is coming back from the dead.
We do hope that the Lord will bless us in our
work and give us the strength to finish our
project and allow us the chance to help more
of the very young people in our community.
