Time to Go to Our Street!

 



It's Installation Day on "Our Street!"

Thank you to PHCC--We Couldn't Do It
Without YOU!

Friday was our big day!  The yard looked very empty as Team India went out into the community.  We were delighted to have Chris Rowan, the Consul General, come back to spend time with us and see our installation in progress.  The team went out at about 10:30 to start the process of taking out the old unit.  You can never be quite sure what will happen at that point!

Lots of last minute adjustments

Getting everything perfect!

A unit we won't be able to salvage!

Chris Rowan and I went to see Team India's installation on the way over to our street.  They were in a much more congested part of Extension 1, and there had been a wild party going on.  Things were a bit quieter when we got there, but it was a very different feeling than on our quieter street.

Team India had a great visit with Chris Rowan

 On our street, we were able to unclog a pipe that had been causing water to run down the center of the street constantly.  Team South Africa came and helped with this project, while our installation went ahead.  Among the other things clogging the pipe was a full can of beans!

This makes it real

At the end of the day, he team went and visited with Amina, our friend from earlier in the week.  We gave her painting supplies and the paint so that the community could paint their unit the way they wanted.  

It was a very long and busy day.  We got back late and had to do some quick cleaning up and then rush back to the hotel to get read for the celebration dinner.
