It's been a busy few weeks with a lot of repairs and building work on the new admin block. I have had the fuel tank out of one of the chilrens' mini buses, to repair the fuel tank sender so they don't get stranded with an empty tank.
I have also been playing with big boys toys, and laying utility supplies and lots of concrete for the new admin block on site. The eagle eyed among you will notice I am wearing shoes in some of these pictures.
It's not all work, as I have been with a local football team, and established a link with the young people's group I led back at Harrogate St John's. They are going to be sending shirts out, and I hope it will have a reet Yorkshire logo on it, with a bit of proper Yorkshire to put the lads right tha knows.
I have also been to Swazi again with a small team who went out to train their care workers and I serviced the vehicles. We took some sacks of maize with us for the orphanage and got held up at customs for 3 hours. SA "You don't need an export licence, off you go" Swazi "...but you do need an import licence, stay there". All sorted in the end.
Swazi power a bit dodgy, so heating water over open fires for washing, and some cold food, but hey ho, it's not everyday you pop out for a wee and spot a rat the size of a cat in the fading light of your head torch!
The combi CV joints let go (Again!) and got a lift back to base in a police car, then back out after dark to try and fix to limp home by light of same fading head torch.
Thanks for all your prayers and support - keep it up, and pray for all the work of Hands and the teams.
