September 15 Rest Day

Today is a rest day and some people take the opportunity to attend a local church service.

There is currently no power as a tree fell across the Power line.

Trees for School Roof.

We required extra Timber for the trusses for the School Roof. While driving along the Road with Wes (Site Building supervisor), Anthony noticed a large Tree in the former Minister of Housings Property. They stopped and Anthony went in to negotiate a price to buy the tree. A price  was negotiated and arrangements were made for the tree to be felled.

Cutting Down the Tree
Unfortunately when the tree was felled it fell across the Road taking out the power line with massive sparks. Consequently there was no power in the area for the next couple of days. The tree feller was immediately aware of the ramifications and took off leaving Anthony to explain to the authorities what had ocurred.  Fortunately Anthony new Mary the assistant to the Chief of Police and was able to explain to her why the tree needed to be felled. Anthony avoided heavy fines and likely imprisonment.

Orphans in Shisasari
Most Orphans in Shisasari are looked after either by uncles, aunts, Grandparents or other Members of the extended family. Often the family will find it difficult to provide even basic neccesities for another person. This is why Anthony's family play such an important role in growing Maize for Porridge. Breakfast and lunches are provided from the Production of Maize on School days.
