Building God's Love School Classrooms

Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for praying. We have finally come to the end of our school year. We have had happy time top class children graduating to primary one.
We are thrilled   that three Tasmanians, French, Meadows and   Mackrell from MMM Australia worked at the God’s Love Home school from 7 – 25 November.  They did a number of very good jobs but there are still many more to do.  They were assisted by Okpoa, electrician and materials buyer and six local tradesmen and labourers.  During that time the team constructed and installed: ceilings and fans in the classroom blocks, gutters, downpipes on all buildings and connected to two new water tanks, converted a garage into a classroom, created a new kitchen with roof and sink, enlarged two classrooms, installed lights and fans throughout with a new distribution board, constructed a 2m high 20 m long security wall.  The team used 4.5 tons of cement, plus approx. 25 tons of sand and stones, all of which had to be barrowed onto the school site from the laneway where small trucks deposited the materials.  We are praying for another team next year to come and volunteer to do the other works that need to be done. In Particular, we need to build two new staff house and a two storey classroom on an adjacent block which we are purchasing.
We are thrilled again for the support given towards renovation work and please, we would greatly appreciate your continual support especially to build two new staff house and a two storey classroom.
Mathew 2;2- ‘’Where is the newborn  king of the Jews? We have seen his star as it arose, and we have come to worship him.’’
May the Lord see you through the coming festival seasons as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and the New Year. Please share our needs to friends, families, church,….
Blessings,

Dear Friends,

May went well with almost all of our children at our Home for three weeks school holiday which ended on 17 May. So, Monday 18th was our starting date not the 25th as earlier communicated …..Apologies! GLS children promptly reported: There are 8 children taught by Julius,15 taught by Justus and 37 taught by Teacher Truth helped by teacher on practice, Evelyn.

We want to thank you for your generous support to-date as we have been able to feed our children well, bought scholastic materials for our new school term which resumed on 18 Mayand 13 Augustexpected closing date.
An American friend, Erica,has offered to build GLH/S website to further raise awareness! Will post you with news as soon as this is up and running.

We have had cases of Typhoid (we boil water but sometimes the children drink unboiled without our knowledge), measles, fever.(some nets are not all working and repairs done by matrons to make it personal)……Jabarah has fever currently but undertreatment,Monica, Michaels and a few others were all victims of measles but thank you for your prayers and financial support as this is now a thing of the past.
Our current needs are;

1-School fees for GLH children especially those in other schools who don’t study at GLS because of few classes we currently have. 25Pounds can feed and educate a child for a month. Thank you so much
2-Clothing needs…shoes, clothes,…for ages between 3 to 11.
3- I still share about our excitement for the two plots adjacent to us which have been put up for sale. Through some generous gifts, local and from abroad we have bought the Yellow plot(check outline map attached). If we could purchase the second plot (Blue colour from outline map) we would have enough land to build a small school”. I wondered if you know of someone out there whom I can contact for help.

I am happy to answer any questions you might have …
God bless you heaps and heaps!
