It is so exciting to see the progress being made on GRACE Home for Children every time I visit! Two buildings are now at roof level, one at beam level, and the fourth one going up fast. The borehole now has a pump and is giving clear, clean water. I know the workers are grateful for that. In one of the pictures, Justus, the director, is showing where his house will be built. That will come after the dining room, kitchen, bath house, and latrines. There is still so much work to be done, but it is still moving faster than I ever dreamed.
On Monday and Tuesday of next week, Fred, Justus, and I will be interviewing for the security guard positions. I am not sure what to expect, but today I gave the pastor at Pukuka UMC 13 applications and he said there will be more than that apply. We will be hiring at least three and possibly add another one after we open. On Wednesday, I hope to have the applicants narrowed to 6. They will then go through another interview and a decision will be made from those.
Please pray for wisdom and discernment as we choose the ones who will protect our children and the compound. We need people who are not only physically strong, but also those with a good, Christian heart, who loves children. Also, please be in prayer for the next mission team who will be coming in May. Art Masker will be coming to help us write a child protection policy, give Justus a little training, and other logistical things that I probably haven't even thought of yet.
God's GRACE, peace, and joy,
Libby
