Here are some photo's from an earlier 

post I made in July

of Maliwo school

and now they are getting a concrete building

The classroom now

their cook house

My camera arrived back from the Island of Epi

were the Presbyterian Church of Australia (PCA) are funding the 

building of a Technical School at Meliwo

it will also be a refuge centre in time of cyclones & disasters

One of the jobs we have is to monitor these projects so that

we don't loose the money that is entrusted in us

so best way to see what we get for the money

is photo's

This building has its roof on now (camera battery went flat on the Island of Epi )

so we will get further photos as soon as we can.

Sorry the wheel barrows are still coming 

they are building with local labour and 

they are very fast workers
