So the day started with the rock and roll drive to Chasefu . We were greeted by large groups of excited children. After extended customary morning greetings , work started on the back wall, the foundation, and some general clean up.
After lunch, we joined with the workers for a time of prayers for thanksgiving and encouragement as they continue with the project and their futures.
Each worker was given a shirt as a thank you for making the work place such an enjoyable experience for all.
Then we were treated to a lively closing ceremony complete with dancing, speeches by community leaders and prayers of thanksgiving and for safe travels as we begin the long journey home down the long and winding road.
