Hope Centre site sees major changes:

Development of the Hope Centre site:
Since arriving in Burundi in mid July Charles & Val Carr have managed to bring about considerable change to the Hope Centre site in Mutimbuzi, Gatumba. Due to the fact that the rainy season will be arriving soon, there is a bid to make sure that the six foundations are in place so that the house building can continue even if there is some flooding on the site. The foundations have been raised to almost a metre off the initial ground level to allow for inevitable flooding and this will be back filled between the houses and landscaped when the building work is over.

Below: The considerable area to be developed is disturbed as the foundations are dug and the building work is initiated.

Below: This building work has caused quite a stir in the area and as a result some of the locals have managed to find work labouring and using their skills to prepare for and build the Hope Centre.
