Building the Nyakato Health Center





Well, the results are in and here are the final numbers:

Number of friends made: Many.
Number of lives touched: Many.
Number of building worked on : 3
Number of buildings readied for opening: 1 – Patricia Ward (Isolation ward)
Number of new stud walls built in BBC : 6-8
Number of ceilings installed in BBC: 2
Number of new ceilings in progress (BBC): 3
Number of book shelves built: 3
Number of tool shelves built: 1 (Thanks Avery – You rock!)
Value of our efforts here at Nyakato: Priceless.

We had a great crew working tirelessly this week and with a lot of heart. I want to thank all of those from One Community Spiritual center for the relationship we formed and the work that was done. Yes we had a few minor injuries and yes we might have gotten a bit tired. All the work was done with joy knowing that we were doing the work of God.
I will come back once the building is complete (the BBC) and help with the “Grand Opening”. It will be grand indeed.

  1. There is a certain peace and rest that comes after using your body hard and well, building-sweating-maybe even getting hurt, aching. I hope everyone felt God's presence in every job, every day, and experienced the peaceful feeling after each day of hard work. Think of how many people may never reach out even in a small way, and experience the joy of the Holy spirit working thru them; many people will never see the light of God's love on the faces of the people whose lives have been helped or changed by what workers like all of you went to Tanzania and did! Let us gather up more people we all know and bring them into the joyful life of living in the fold of Jesus! Let's bring them along on such a journey, where they will feel the difference, be the difference and truly make a difference, whether its in their own neighborhood or far away!
