The 'Rotary Rafiki House'

The shell of the Rotary 'Rafiki House' went up quite fast while I was there visiting. It's all the finishing that is taking the time now. The septic tank is being dug right now and then the plumbing, toilet, will be connected. We are still digging away at the water well~sure hope we find water soon or that may be a problem! All that hard work digging a hole 40 foot deep, by hand~then to have to start all over again~I just can't imagine! The solar and electrical will start next. The cupboards, closets and bathroom vanity are being built as we speak. Then we need to paint and tile the inside of the house as well as finish the outside of the house. Still lots to do but I know it will get done! I trust my 'fundi's (contractors) that they will get the job done. Just wish I was there to check on things!! Once all of this work gets done, there will be the job of furnishing and decorating the 'Rafiki House"! That's the job I am waiting to do! Trust me, when I say, it will be like 'NO OTHER' volunteer House. We are booked for the end of January, February & March already as well as July and August. Just hope I can get it done for all our visitors!! Hope someday soon, you will all come to visit and stay in the new Rotary 'Rafiki House' !
