Chicken coop

Construction of Coop is almost finished and ready for the chick's arrival on 17th March:

More Funds PLEASE!

Big John has quickly dispensed of the funds we gave him on our departure and requires another instalment in order to keep the builders on the job! Today I transferred USD$4,000 to keep him going so check back to see more progress.  

more photos from the fundraiser.....

The dormitory is advancing at a rapid pace!

On the day we left we gave Big John the second payment of USD$3,000 to be allocated to furthering the dormitory construction. Below is the ledger and photographs I have been sent this week.  The construction is evidently not encumbered by "African time!"
