The Training Centre has had an amazing boost with three
great men coming from Darwin. Anen and his Timorese team worked hard to get the
second floor slab laid. Then the Crossroads Church supported Huy to come and
assist with laying blocks on the second level. He was eagerly joined by Mark
and Graham.
They all took a week out of their lives in Darwin to come and offer
some sweat and skill to the building. Apart from laying blocks, the main
objective was to increase the skill of the Timorese. They could lay the blocks
fairly plumb but were struggling to consistently lay blocks level. The men came
and showed them how to lay up the corner blocks and then set up the string line
along the very top corner edge.
We were also blessed with a bunch of quality plumbing
fittings – for 5 bathrooms! O dear, what are we building?!
The next challenge is to get the rest of the blocks laid and
the top concrete beam on in preparation for another team coming in March to put
the main roof on.
The roof is going to be quite expensive at $16000USD. If
you’d like to contribute we could do with some help.
