Eastleigh Makeover!

Pharis Nyaga introducing the Fallingbrook Heights team to the vocational training centre program at the Eastleigh Community Centre

Erica is leading the Fallingbrook Heights short term mission team in Eastleigh this week. Yesterday she brought them in for a quick tour and then they jumped in with both feet as the team began helping out with the literacy classes, and renovations to our work spaces. Don and John also began a series of workshops with the older students in the school, and Don and Joy went on a home visit in the community.

they appreciated the openness of Nelius and Farhiya
who are sharing the morning classes with them this week.

Along with the renovations to our new work spaces and offices, the entire community centre is getting a major makeover through the support of the European Union and other donors. Carpenters, tilers, painters and a host of volunteers are working throughout the centre. This Wednesday will be a huge clean up day with all of the students participating. The centre is a bee hive of activity!
