Final day of work - we really accomplished a lot.  We dug a bunch of additional trenches, built forms and installed them, as well as setting re-bar into the main entrance so that it would be supported properly.  We mixed several batches of cement by hand on the ground, and poured the concrete into forms and hopefully the remaining cement can be poured tomorrow. We split up and did some additional shopping and made an additional trip to the new children's home so that Beverly could see the babies one more time.  
 
After quickly cleaning up, we then topped it off with a wonderful dinner with our new Methodist family and then a beautiful closing ceremony with them including communion and singing.
  
It is hard to put into words what a blessing it has been to be allowed into this communities' life for a few days, and how neat it was to experience a local church and the children's home.     Hopefully we'll be able to put together a presentation when we return that describes the experience faithfully.    Thanks to everyone who has supported us on this venture, both with prayers and funds.   You have no idea you've helped us make here!
