Last Project Part 4 (Complete onto the next part)

 So the first & most important of my last project is done.  The septic tank's cover is completely finished but still drying.  So now next up, later this week, is the certifying that the plumbing all works
Septic Tank Covered & Done

Still needs the insides cut out





With Cover        
 So up next on the fix it list is plastering the kitchen.  So these Social Centers I have been fixing up are often called Soup Kitchens because previous to the economic downturn they actually were used to feed the community.  But now they are just used to feed the pre-school students when there is food.  The World Food Program & local fruit & vegetable place regularly donate but it isn't on the scale they used to be  previous to my coming to Swaziland.  Basically, these kitchens are just pots in a room.  



Towards the bottom left of the above photo you can see a built in pot with is lid.  The fire is underneath on the outside.  They cook up the food in these. 



Here is the interior of the kitchen area now plastered but not smoothed over nor completely finished.  Also you will notice missing roof sections, we are fixing that also.
