Progress continues

Although it is only a few days since I provided a brief update on the work at Amankwatia, some further information has just come through, together with some pictures.

Update on work

'I wish to inform you that, the pit for the KVIP has been dug, and concrete and block works for the pit have been completed.  The contractor is yet to build the housing and the roof; the housing should have been started by now, but the contractor has promised it should be started w/c 13 October.  Recent supervision from the site confirms that there are enough building materials to complete the work.

It is not raining heavily now so the borehole (for the new fresh water supply) should also be completed before the end of October.'

Speaking a thousand words

Here are a few recent pictures of work on site (provided by Esther, the Communications Officer at Kuapa Kokoo).  I've included a couple of pictures of the sites, taken before the work started, for comparison.

Prayers

'Kuapa Kokoo farmers, especially at Amankwatia, are very happy and continue to pray for the Wesley Church and all who donated for this project.'

'The primary school children are equally very happy and wish to thank all children at Wesley Church for their support.  They wish them God's Blessings in all they do.'

God of all, 

We praise you for your work of creation which surrounds us all.
In your very being we experience community in Father, Son and Spirit.

We thank you for your work of cooperation and justice through Kuapa Kokoo,
in particular for all those who live, work and study in Amankwatia.

As we give thanks for the work which has been completed so far,
we pray that your Spirit may continue to surround those involved in this project,
and offer ourselves in your service in expectation of its successful completion.

In your name we pray, Amen!
