Construction at our clinic site is back in full swing again, after a lull that came after the roof of the pharmacy building was poured.  We’ve changed to a new construction team and they are working quickly to finish everything that needs to be completed for us to be a fully functional outpatient clinic.  Below are photos of construction events from the past few weeks:

Completion of the stucco work on 3 storage areas under the pharmacy building:

Stucco work is almost completed on the inside of the pharmacy building:

In spite of periodic breakdowns, our faithful dump truck and driver continue to bring materials up to the site:

While the masonry was being done in the pharmacy building, another crew was digging a hole for a large septic tank.  Here is the hole after a week of digging through rock and dirt:

Then, iron bars were laid to reinforce the floor, after which a concrete floor was poured:

Rock walls then went up and PVC pipes were put through the wall to allow for inflow of waste water into the tank:

Digging has also started on a 4-hole latrine for our patients:

Cherlie and I have entered into the construction arena as well, by beginning to paint the inside of the main clinic building.  It already was painted with a coat of primer paint, but now we’re painting with the real colors!  Here’s Cherlie showing how it’s supposed to be done:

We’ve been joined in our efforts each Saturday but 3 local young men:

We’ve appreciated the help and they’ve been happy to learn a new skill!
