October 2013 Zimpeto Sewing and Carpentry Program Update

Having arrived back in June, we are just over half-way through our time here for this year. The boys and I have been extremely busy building cupboards and making beds in the shop. We also made a TV stand and 5 benches, and spent 4 weeks putting drop ceilings in the offices of the school.

Betty is teaching 21 girls to sew this time, and is also teaching 6 ladies from the community. Betty is grateful to have two assistants now, one part-time and one that is going to hopefully be able to take over for Betty when we leave in December.

One of our great joys this year came on September 2nd, with the dedication of the prayer room where the missionaries, pastors and the leaders of the center lined up and had the school children pass through so that we could bless them. You might recall that last year the boys and I built the windows and doors for the new prayer room.
