Recently, many of you joined us in helping our local Christian church repair some severe storm damage their building incurred about 5 years ago. This was a completely unofficial effort on our part—not a Peace Corps thing, and last week we finished up our part of it. Those involved should have just received an email detailing what you helped do, but for everyone else I’ll summarize: (USD)$1255 was raised and, as a result, The church now has the building supplies needed to repair their roof (beams and corrugated sheets and screws and nails) and to rebuild the damaged sections of their concrete-brick walls. It’s not enough money to build a brand new church building, but it should be enough to make the existing one structurally sound.
Since we’re leaving next week, we won’t be around to see the final result of this effort. But with the materials now in-hand, their repair work can begin.
Anyway, I made a little video from some footage I took at one of the Sunday services (which are held in the damaged building, as you’ll see) so now you can all have a glimpse of this congregation in action.
