As we mentioned in previous post, the road in front of our compound is very busy. The city has decided to widen the road and will be taking down our present shrubbery and fence. This is a huge security concern, so the mission is having a new block wall constructed across the front of our property. ALL of the work is being done by hand. 
This is a picture of the ditch for the footer for the wall. Here you can see men inside the ditch that they dug by hand. When completed, the
length of the wall will be about one quarter of a mile. As you can see in the photo, the footer ditch is about five and a half feet deep. Here in Africa you can use manual labor to accomplish a task at a fraction of the cost of machinery.
