EARLY MORNING UPDATE
Hey there!!
It's about 9:00am here, the team is mostly out on the worksite setting up the next concrete pour - I am getting some communication work done.
FIRST and most important....Penny says Happy Birthday to Christopher her son back home, and to Christopher, I have a special link for you. Go to:
www.nyfc.org/ghana2006/ghana2006.htm
and look for the link with your name and choose to save the target. "Happy Birthday Christopher!"
Second... Although originally we were to be laying block while here, we have ended up pouring concrete the whole time. Our task is to finish the main pour on the second floor (you have seen some of the video) That way, the Ghanaians can lay block underneath even in bad weather, which they can do much faster than we can.
To date we have poured over 30 cubic yards of concrete!!
That is mixed, carried and dumped by hand!!! I think (please correct me if I am wrong) that is about the same as two and a half to three standard concrete truck loads at about 12 yards per truck.
That's it for now - I just heard that there is a shovel waiting for me.
Blessings.
Daryl
PS - Tracy - there were over 100 moms and babies!!

Hi Daryl and All,
We just got home from three days in Sarnia to attend a Celebration of Life Service for Kenny Gryde. All went well.
Many folks at St. George's, Sarnia, were very interested in your adventure, and proud of what you and the entire team are doing.
We just caught up on the blogs and the pictures, about which I have two comments.
1) We thought we recognized a couple of Mikaela's goats when we thought she had sold them, and
2) Did you figure out which one had the sore throat???
The pictures are great. Keep them coming, as it gives us a real appreciation of where you are and the conditions you are facing.
Our prayers are with you all!
God Bless, Dad
Greetings from Oshawa...
Thanks for giving us a look and feel of Kokrobite!
Loved the video, & the pictures.
It looks like you are all working so hard to make a difference in the lives of so many people.
After seeing some of the work you are all doing, complaining about a 'sore back' from gardening just dosen't seem to cut it!
Our prayers are with you all.
Stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you all when you get back.
Lv Mick & June Scott
