HOORAY! We’re back online after a
long and arduous hiatus. Sorry for the unintentional interruption but we are
now anxious to share the myriad of exciting things that have transpired during
our communication glitch.
First and foremost we MUST share
news of the ecologically friendly VMS school addition that is nearing
completion thanks to the financial support of Hope for Limpopo, Whitney Falk
& Jefferies & Co., Cristina Kessler and the St John supporters of ‘Another Magical Evening’, the Church of
Scotland, South Coat Foundation USA, and Student Volunteers Abroad (SVA) at
Glasgow University. It certainly “takes a village” and we are grateful for
everyone’s support.
Knowing that this economical and
ecological construction project has created many jobs for both women and men in
the surrounding villages reinforces HFL’s determination to continue to find self-sustaining,
relevant opportunities for local residents.
The sandbag building system we are
using is exciting, innovative construction technology and we will gladly share
our information on the subject in subsequent blogs.
Please watch for future details on
this powerful project.
