The Race is on

Branches are being cut, lights installed, windows replaced, floors swept, dorms cleaned, all in preparation for the flood of teams coming in the end of this week. We got some extra people to help and the place is buzzing like a campus before freshman orientation. It’s funny how it always takes visitors to get places cleaned up!

The team from my home church, Christ’s Church of Amherst in NH, boards their bus to NYC in just a few hours. We go to pick them up from the airport Thursday afternoon. Part of the team will be staying here helping paint the hall on the plot and getting involved in ministries around Okahandja. Part of the group will be going out to Arandis to lead a dance camp and get involved with the school and church ministries. And the last few are some teachers who will be helping in some preschools around here and a special ed school in Windhoek. You can follow along with the team at their blogsite, http://goteamnamibia.blogspot.com.

Then on Saturday a group from Canada will be moving in for the month. They are a scout group coming to install toilets at some of the preschools. It’s a pre-fab unit that uses evaporation to keep a dry, sanitary, virtually odorless system. It really is a great idea in a place where there’s plenty of sun, but not so much water.

So lots will be happening over the next month, which usually leads to infrequent blogging (my apologies in advance) but lots of opportunities for photos. Hope you can keep up! Hope I can keep up.
