Things have been progressing with the building of the girls dorm. The first floor is poured and the bricks for the second floor are being laid. We are hoping to pour half of the roof for this floor in the end of November. However there is a lack of finances. Here is a list of construction material needed to finish the girl's dorm.

We expect to receive about $50,000 CAD from the teams next year. However this will fall short of the actual funds needed for the construction project, about $130,000 CAD. We pray that the girl’s dorm and kitchen will be ready for the end of 2008 but this goal will not be reached without your financial help. We know that the Lord has a plan and he will fulfill it in his time. We put our trust in him to provide.
