The month of January has been full of activity as we have started construction on the lower wall of the training center property. This wall is a huge undertaking since it is going to be a large retaining wall that will eventually be backfilled against to enable us to have a flat soccer feild at the bottom of the hill.
We are so thankful that God has provided the funds to work on this wall. We have been able to hire several men from the community and we were also blessed with having a group from New Jersey come and work alongside the local men for a week.

| This picture begins to show just how long this wall is going to be. They will put a second and possibly a third layer of gabion on top of these before it is finished. |

| Filling the Gabeons with rock is hard work since it takes about a dump truck load of rock to fill each one. It is also like a puzzle, finiding the right rocks to fit each space. |
Another important project we have been working on is digging two large holes for the toilet pits. This is an extremly hard task since they need to be 15 feet deep and once they got down about 5 feet they hit rock and it became very difficult. After breaking a pick that they use to break the rock, we have decided to wait and invest in a jack hammer to help dig out the last 5 feet of depth. We are praying that this arrives soon so these 2 pits can be completed.
