Saturday, June 23, 2012 was a day to gather up the lumber we had been accumulating and start work on repairing desks for the local public school. We were so grateful that we had access to a table saw that is used by the construction crews at Galmi.
Other than Grace and Orest we also had Pastor John from the California and our friend Ali who teaches at the school. Pastor John is here with his wife and two other people for a few weeks. We were glad that he was willing to pitch in and help. He is going to continue varnishing the wood we cut for the rest of the week. On Friday we are planning to head to the school and start putting together the desks.
We do not have the best quality lumber available but we were able to cut out enough pieces to do 32 desks. According to Ali it is so much better than what they have and they will be happy. We were so happy that Ali wanted to be included in the work. He worked really hard at ensuring that the wood was well sanded with clean edges for the kids.
John and Orest were doing the cutting, and when they finished they set to helping with the sanding of the pieces. Grace and Ali were sanding but after a while Grace started varnishing the wood. It is a lot of work but it was enjoyable.
