A nice saying ‘raising the roof’ and, in this case, it is perfectly apt! We need to ‘raise the roof’ by shouting about the progress Our Father’s House Ministries is making in operating a busy school whilst simultaneously enlarging the building. So, while the school children are in school we can only proceed with small improvements but when the school holidays are in progress then the heavy, physical building work resumes – as long as we have the funds that is.

We also need to literally ‘raise the roof’ by building the next floor up so that we can accommodate children on the premises and further develop the nursery. We have come a long way but we still have so far to go – your prayers and support continue to be vital to to our goal to save children from the streets…Thank you

A big thank you to Martin Duhimbaze for sending the photos.
