On Sunday, July 26, 2009 the new dormitories were finally completed at St. Pauls Childrens Care Centre. The dormitories, kitchen, and bathrooms were destroyed in a kitchen fire on July 29, 2009. After 1 year of fund-raising and construction, the new building is finally completed and the children are able to move back in. The new building includes a kitchen, dining hall, new bathrooms, complete with Western style flush toilets and showers, as well as an increased number of dormitories. With the new dorms there will finally be a room for the youngest children and infants, as well as a room for the staff of the orphanage to sleep. The older children will have more space and be able to live more comfortably in these new rooms.
We would like to thank all of our supporters and donors who helped to make this need a reality. The children are so excited to finally move into their new rooms and have some space to themselves again. They are also excited to have a new dining hall so that they will not have to suffer another rainy season eating outside. Thank you again for your generous support.
