As mentioned in the previous blog we are in the process of demolishing our old dining hall and rebuilding a new one. One of the more exciting aspects of this whole venture is the training we are able to provide to a bunch of local young men from Mawabene (a small rural village about 20 klm’s from Willow Park).
Yes … Willow Park did need a new dining hall, but we wanted to do more than just build a hall, we wanted to be able to use this whole project as a form of outreach into the local community and to be able to introduce and train a group of young men in the “how to’s” of a build.
These guys have all been working hard and according to our builder have been VERY enthusiastic and eager to learn all that he has to teach them. It is also exciting is to hear how these young men are now thinking of ways in which they can use these new skills in helping advance and build their own communities.
These are exciting times and I can’t wait to see what further training and outreach Willow Park can give to those in the surrounding communities.
