Requesting Suport for a Local Family ~ Pictures to Update you! The work has begun!

Support for local Family in need~

Dear Friends ~  This link above opens the blog to a local Indonesian family, in need of some help,   here in Salatiga.  Thank YOU for the contributions you have donated!  It looks like it will all be taken care of because of your kindness!

We have 4 more days left here in Salatiga - and  soon we will be departing Indonesia.  

        We want to give you an update:

 The glass squares have  been put in to bring in some light...but it is also a pass-through for the cement that is being prepared here on the floor and then passed through to the man on the scaffold outside!  Yes he mixes the cement in the bucket on the floor then goes up this ladder and hands it through the opening to the worker working on the outside of this exterior wall. 

They poke holes through the bricks and then the bamboo goes through the wall to the exterior to set up a scaffold...which is supported only by these bamboo poles ~

Look here...the worker is outside walking on the bamboo scaffolding! 

Gosh he better be careful out there!

 Because it was so dark in this upstairs area they have made an opening to bring in some sunlight, a window frame will be put in, so there will be ventilation ~

It will be so nice for the girls to have some natural light coming into the room!   

This one room will be for the 3 girls to sleep & to study in.

 We are getting closer to our needed amount but still have not reached it yet!  We do hope the inside too can be completed: walls also have to be cemented..(the bricks are porous)  The floor area is not yet smoothed & leveled and the stairs leading up to this upstairs area is very rough.  

So once the workers are finished on the outside walls we do hope they would be able to continue to complete the inside too.  That is our hope!

 The contractor started up this week...we are so thankful to see it happen for Frans & his family!















The work has begun...the bamboo scaffolds are going up....and one load of sand has been delivered to start on the finishing work on the outside first.

We are praying for the balance to come...to finish it completely  outside and inside!  
I personally would like to see the inside walls painted.  It is common to cement walls but it is very gloomy looking!  To have some gallons of paint to brighten it up inside....wouldn't that be nice?   It would make such a difference - I know Agnes would love it - it really would make it cheery & welcoming inside!   A little color -  white walls would open up the interior so much!  

We know in our heart that the Lord will provide!  Won't you come alongside us in this  ...it would be such a need & true blessing! 

If you are encouraged to help us out ... together a little bit goes a 
very  l o n g  way!  

Again...thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We are most grateful!
