New benches for the local church

With our work at Valley View complete the team hurried back to Jinja to begin two more projects. The first was a lean-to awning to provide shade at the Sonrise orphanage and the second was to construct a dozen benches for the local church.
Rain hampered the progress of the awning but the general framework for the construction is ready and should be completed tomorrow morning.
The church benches have been put together with local labour. The wood was cut, shaped and then sanded before construction. We made good progress with this and had time to varnish all twelve before the end of a long but very productive day.
When we attended the church service last Sunday there were a number of people left standing at the back and this afternoon's work will have guaranteed more seating as the church continues its attempt to expand its influence in the community.
