So, with the need for logistical support work at the orphanage, comes the revelation that there is an almost total lack of tools to accomplish the tasks. Now, with the help of God and some of His friends, we have compiled a small cache of battery operated commercial grade tools that should meet the challenge. Thanks to all those who have contributed to the acquistion of said tools. To go with us when we travel will be a circular saw, jigsaw, drill, concrete drill, nailgun, batteries and charger. Also some basic hand tools will come along.
The power in Kenya is of different cycles (50hz vs our 60hz), and would damage our motorized tools, but will work fine for charging the batteries.
All that is left is to purchase a bunch of fasteners, ie: nails, screws, staples, concrete fasteners, and misc stuff.
As with everything else that our team is taking, the tools will be staying with the orphanage to be used by any that have need.
Sandy and Jeri are collecting a bunch of stuff for the kids, including clothes, ministry things and some specific items for some special need kids.
It's been amazing to watch, as supernaturally things keep falling in place.....and...I didn't want to go....initially. But that's a story for another time.
Thanks to all who have gotten involved.
