The team continues to work very well together and make steady progress in Murundu on the irrigation system for the vegetable garden, and the shade house for the Moringa planting bags. Our delivery of timber arrived from the Congo yesterday and we had put nearly every piece to good use by the day's end today. The shade house is completed except for the spray system that will tie off the of irrigation and water the planting bags as the seeds germinate. We plan to begin the Moringa planting bags tomorrow and complete them in the coming days.
The team visited Joseph's orphanage in Murudu for the first time of this year's trip. There is space for a four room clinic (Grace's Place) at the orphanage and after we complete our work at Joseph's house on the irrigation system and shade house, we plan to build furniture for the clinic. We are staying busy every day and enough supplies are available to fill the needs of our work. The whole team remains healthy and excited about continuing the work and we look forward to sharing pictures of the irrigation system coming to life.
The Zambians are amazing and working with them every day teaches me more than I can put into words. The boys help us in the fields in the mornings before they go to school and Joseph's wife prepares lunch for us each day. Some of the young men help us as well and the work would not be nearly as far along without everyone's efforts.
Take care and be well,
Reuben

Hey Reuben, I am excited to hear that we may soon get to see the pictures. The progress and teamwork on the irrigation project is truly amazing and offers so much hope.
May God continue to work through all of you to help with the needs of the people there.
May God continue to bless the fruit of your labors and STS with His plans to help the people. Carpe Diem!
Glad to hear things are going well. Looking forward to seeing your pix.
