As the semester wraps up we are looking forward to our adventures in Kenya. Our primary goal is to build relationships with our hosts at Daystar University. Each of our students will be paired up with a student from Daystar. We will all be lodging in residence halls and working on a nearby ministry center that is under construction called the "Ukarimu House." More about the Ukarimu House in another posting. Our construction project involves building at least one of two very large water holding tanks.
In Nairobi, I'm told that most of the rain falls during one month for the whole year. So, in an effort to make the "Ukarimu House" self sustaining, they will channel all run off water into these holding tanks. The holes will be dug before we arrive, so we will do what it takes to seal the bottom and then build the brick walls that complete the tank. The finishing touch is a large concrete slab that is placed over the top.
You may want to know who will be a part of this adventure...
