Maternity Ward Ceiling

Part of my responsibility at Zimba Mission Hospital is when a construction team comes, I have to oversee them and have things organized so they have a project to do. My first work crew came last Sunday and have been here all week. There are 3 guys from a Wesleyan Church in St. Louis MO. They raised the money to redo the maternity ward ceiling and fix the roof.
So last Monday, me, one of the team members, and a driver went to Livingstone to buy the supplies needed for the project. Of course it took all day, but we got what they needed. The ceiling boards in the maternity ward were sagging really bad because of water damage and a lot of insect damage. They could have fallen pretty much at anytime when the crew started to rip them down not much was holding them up. So the project was to remove the old and fix the roof from leaking and then put up the new boards. The project is going pretty well and there is progress.
