Although we found the new location and pay the deposits, it is not ready for move-in yet. The house still need some "fix-up" and repair. And we are still praying for the financial needs from the setup expense to the operation cost. Please continue to pray with us and consider become one of our ministry partner.
We wanted to share with you some of our progress:
*******************************************************
Need to build a wall and door (to close the area to become an extra room)
Reason:Need more rooms for the students to live (each room will be shared by 3 to 4 people)
Cost: US$170 (HK$1,300) for a wall with a door -- IN PROGRESS
US$200 (HK$1,600) for a closed ceiling for heat insulation -- LACK OF FUNDING
 |
| Thomas and the dorm leader are looking at the open space at the top floor of the building (to be "closed up" to become a room) |
 |
| We need an extra room for the students to live. We will need to remodel to add a wall and a door, so this space can become a room. |
 |
| Worker just built the medal frame and the dry walls |
 |
| Thomas and the dorm leader is examining the dry walls and door (very small!) |
 |
| Praise God that the wall is finally completed! |
*******************************************************
Need to build a door to the open space (living room) on the 2nd floor to allow the girls to lock their new bedroom.
Reason: Need more rooms for the students to live and an entry door to allow basic security and privacy.
Cost: US$60 (HK$480)
 |
| Open space on the same 2nd floor needs to be closed up. |
 |
| The metal door flame just build and waiting to build the dry walls, and attached the door. |
 |
| Thomas is testing the "new door". |
*****************************************************************
Need to add a new layer of metal on the gate
Reason: Need to provide higher security for the motorcycle parking.
Cost: US$0 (after negotiation with the owner)
 |
| The current gate can be easily "see-through" by other people hence it is very vulnerable for theft as our students will park their motorcycles in there. |
 |
| Original gate |
 |
| The blue metal sheets are being installed to block direct view from outside. The security for the students' motorcycles is very important as it is their most valuable assets. |
*****************************************************************************
