HOT TIN-IT'S JUST THE AFRICAN WAY!

UPDATE FROM STAN-NAIROBI: 

I went to Kayole yesterday to give Joshephat the money we raised and took some pictures of the changes. They now have all the walls up and the toilet connected to the sewer line, so hopefully it will be ready to move into on Monday. Joshephat told me a typical African story which I'm sure you'll appreciate... 

Joshephat and the carpenter were transporting the tin to the building site when they ran into a bit of a problem; Cliff you will remember where we transfer vans from Buruburu to Kayole-well that's the place where they had to get off to buy the tin. They bought 14 large 4x8 sheets and then proceeded to finds a way to transport it to Kayole. They haired a guy with a handcart (mkokoteni) to haul it and walked ahead to show him they way. Everything was going fine until they looked around and the guy with the handcart disappeared. So Joshephat and the carpenter were stuck-what to do with 14 large sheets of hot tin?  Their only option-pick it up and start walking. Each took 7 pieces and begin the 4 kilometers (2.5 miles)journey back to the school. Joshephat said his shoulder was still sore from the ordeal. I told him he should have called me so I could have arranged transport, but he said, "That is just the African way." So true!
