Update: Gods Mercy Orphanage, Kisoro Uganda

Thanks to the Rotary Club of North Scott A new kitchen, animal cages, and new plants are off to a great start.

Robbinah is shown with the new Passion Fruit plants

These show the site at the beginning of construction on the kitchen. The bottom 2 pictures show the piles of material hand made and compiled for the construction.

Greetings Merle

Below is a note I received from Robbinah today. She attached photos showing the early stages of the layout and con-struction of the kitchen financed by the generosity of North Scott Rotary. As you view the delivery of materials and construction process, do not think of it in the terms of construction in Ameri-ca. Don't look for the backhoe or cement truck. It is done with a spade and a strong back. Concrete is made by mixing ce-ment with sand, gravel and water, and all mixed by hand. Do not look for the perfect 8X8X16 concrete block. The blocks are formed by mixing clay with water and put into forms. It is the most common form of building material in this area of southwest Uganda. (In the bush, buildings are made from clay and termite mound dirt) Most roofs are thatch. A sign of prosperity is a roof made with corrugated steel sheets. A metal roof allows us the chance to add gutters, a downspout and the ability to harvest rain. The water is used for drinking, bathing, watering livestock and irrigating crops. Do not look for the perfectly sawed and finished lumber. (like a 2X4 or a 2X6) The lumber is harvested from local trees and looks more like poles. The last couple of pictures show the passion fruit vines planted near the kitchen, goat house and rabbit hutches. We may try grapes or some other fruit or vegetables. You will see Robbinah in one of the photos. Her Dad is overseeing the construction of the kitchen. It will be wonderful when completed. You may noticed places in the stone security fence that have been compromised. That will be the next project, as we must improve our safety and security. Hope you find the pictures interesting. If you download the pictures, you can blow them up for more detail.

Happy birthday to these Rotarians. Please sit together at the table with balloons and enjoy some cake!!

Due to rising costs for the operations of the North Scott Rotary Club, the board of directors has voted on a $5.00 per quarter, increase in dues, effective July 1, 2018. The basic dues for a 3 month period will then be $175 and the required giving to the Paul Harris Foundation will remain at $25. The new total per quarter will be $200.00. There has not been an increase in dues for 4 years. Thanks to everyone for understanding.
