April updates

Greetings to you all, we hope you had a peaceful Easter holiday. We are very sorry for the late updates but it was due to some problems we had here as Dominic had malaria just before the easter holiday and was admitted in hospital for two days and two nights but he is now well and back at work. Our email and internet also is always down and up for just a while .

However, the project is going on quite well and we are all happy with not only the speed but above all the quality of the work is good. The Archbishop of Harare, His Grace Robert Christopher Ndlovu paid us a visit and went on a tour at the site, he was really impressed with the project and how it is being run and he said he wants to be the first one to sleep in the guest house once it is finished.

In the attached foto, the classroom block can be seen to be going up as the deck for the first floor has since been completed and they are now working on the columns up to the beam and thereafter they will need the roofing material. All the classrooms on the ground floor are covered and have since been partitioned with the brick work and plastering is about 60 percent done.

During this week we have to make orders for the following material as it is now required :

* Roof trusses (these have been paid for).
* Roof tiles and ridges (we still need to pay for these).
* Burglar bars for all the windows (we still need to pay for these).

The situation in the country seems to be improving slowly especially on the food part, a lot of food items are now available in the shops and the prices of most basic commodities have gone down though some prices are still very high. We are hoping the situation continues to improve as many shops are opening up hence there is a bit of competition and so prices tend to go down.
