Much progress has been made in 2014 on the Orphanage facility being constructed. In the early part of 2014, the initial electrical work on the facility was done. This comprised of provision of electrical conduits and running wires through them to all places where lights, switches, cookers and other gadgets will be installed. Next, initial plumbing works on the facility were also undertaken. Plumbing pipes have been laid to all places where sinks, washers, showers and lavatory items will be installed. The building was sealed with plywood during the middle portion of the year to close up the roof to all the rooms.
The next major task undertaken which took a lot of time and resources in 2014 was the plastering of the facility. The whole building has been plastered with sand and cement. All rooms including kitchen, stores, dormitory, cafeteria, offices, veranda, etc. have been completed. Gutters have also been provided around the building to safeguard the building against rain erosion. Iron gates are currently being installed to the main gate of the facility to provide security to the building.
In the year 2015, the following major tasks will be done on the building: Final electrical fittings will be provided and installed. This will include: Lighting, sockets, switches, heaters, fans, etc. Final pluming devices will also be installed. This will include: showers, WC items, pipe faucets, water heaters, washing basins, sinks, etc. Septic tank will be provided. A Well will also be drilled and provided for the facility to ensure availability of constant water supply. Window glasses will be provided for all windows in the facility. The whole building will also be painted.
Much financial help is still needed. Also volunteers who may be willing to take a trip to Ghana (Africa) in July 2015 to undertake some of these tasks will be welcome. Please contact us if you can help in any way. Thanks for all your help in 2014. Please see attached pictures showing works or tasks completed so far in 2014.
