. . . and more roof is there . . .

. . .  still we make Humana people work under the tree, but this time round, Niels from the head quarters in Durban came along and did wotk too (under the tree).
And we are struggling to get the roof done, it is growing and the first gum-poles are already aligned with the courtyard, so you can get more and more of an idea of the dimensions . . .

The roof is starting to emerge !

Finally!
or shall I say,
in time,
well, anyway, we are now seeing the roof starting,
just in time to compensate with out-door working and meetings,
and finalising some of the hopes we have been working on for so long.

There it starts and I do hope to see much more when I am in Tubatse next time.
Also Cloris, from the Humana partnership office, the big smile at the end, is very significant and I will tell you more, soon . .




















. . . recycling of old building materials on our site

well, it is good to see that all of our waste is re-used, even if it was bloody expensive to get in the first place, but a good tomato garden should also be a very generous and money making enterprise.
After all it is the community that again profits, it might not be the class room or hall, but a good Italian relish . . . . I love the African sense of improvisation.

lets hope in future our choices for experimental building materials will be better!
