Commissioning of the Multipurpose Building

Rabbit Hutch
Kenyan construction is skilled labor. The mission team was unable to help with the construction and the building wasn't ready for paint. A construction team built a rabbit hutch prototype complete with a healthy black and white meat rabbit in support of the inventive women from Emmanuel Methodist Church and four other local churches who had hatched the "Rabbit Project" to provide orphans with opportunities to care for and raise rabbits. The rabbits will provide food and financial support for their foster families.
Kitchen
This will be the kitchen. Improvements including plumbing, electricity, flooring, and cabinets will be provided at a later time.

Inside the Multipurpose Building
The inside of the block construction is plastered with cement. Workers are very skilled. They are young, strong and athletic. They do beautiful work.
Multipurpose Building
This is what the multipurpose
building looked like after a
week of hard work. The blocks in
front of the building have to
be shaped at the site to be usable.
A View of the Multipurpose Building
This is a good look at the
make-shift scaffolding that
is used in all building
construction in Kenya.
Windows will be glazed.

First Look at the Building Progress
As a team our Hershey, Sutherland, Wallace delegation sent $25,000 ahead of our mission trip to get the building started. When we arrived at the site on June 22, 2009 this was our first look at the building. They were putting on the pretty turquoise corrugated tin roof.
