After the second village we hike to our third village Dung
Duing, where we would be helping clear land for a school. This village was literally
over the mountains, through rivers, and in its own environment. This village
has so many wonderful and caring people. The children faces would melt your
heart. The sad situation is the kids that can afford to go to school have to
hike 3 hrs to and from school a day, through a river and over mountains. It
very dangerous for the kids to cross the river, several have dead from crossing
the river. Here is a picture of the kids
crossing the river to head to school.
This is the village Rueben our contact grew up in. So it is
a big desire for him to see this school being built. I had the honor to design
the school, when I heard the stories, immediately want to help. So I went to
view land the school is going on and then started to design. Below is the
design for the school.
Next step is our team started to clear the land, gathering
stone and sand, and review the design with the villagers. They all came out to
help with the process; they take pride in what is being done for them.
So there is one step missing in all the school planning,
money to afford to build it. It will take about 2,500 to build the school. They
plan to use the resource they have, but they are going to have to buy certain
things. I have a desire in my heart to make sure this school, gets built for these
kids to learn. If you feel it in your heart to donate money to the school fund,
let me know. Let join together and make a child’s dream come true… an education…
Until Take Time… take care.
