We are in the process of a multi million-dollar refurbishment of the grounds and things are definitely changing. We have had our workmen slash the grass tennis court and volley ball court and it looks absolutely fantastic. Before they started, the grass and weed were about waist height (or just a little over my mother in law’s head) which made it very difficult to return a serve when playing tennis. Unfortunately we still aren’t able to play tennis yet but it is on it’s way … take a look at this.
We have also done a lot of painting lately and it has made so much of a difference … it is amazing what a lick of paint can do. The walls of the scullery (wash up area) and outside the kitchen was looking very moldy and stained, but with the paint it has made the area look sooooo good … the pictures below do not do any justice.
We are also in the process of slashing and revamping our soccer pitch … it is all slashed and burnt now and we will be fertilizing it shortly ready for the coming rains … it will be great to have the soccer pitch up and running again.
The thatched roofs of two of the cabins and one of the toilets were getting a lot of holes in them so we have just finished re-thatching these roofs … it is great to know that during the next rainy season that kids won’t be woken to rain gushing down on their heads as they sleep in the dorms.
We are also in the process of re-vamping 5 of the old brick dorms, these were looking very tired and as our camp welcomer said “ahh boss, it is shameful to sho piple these thins”. We have had a workman in to render the inside and outside of these dorms and we are in the process of painting them … they are looking terrific. You will have to take my word on this as I don’t have any pictures yet … you will probably have to wait another 4 months until I do the next update blog (oops).
