Additionally, the second level of the foundation is complete, which involves a layer of rebar surrounded by concrete supervised by an engineer to protect against earthquakes.
A one meter-high stone wall is being built atop the foundation which will serve as the base for the block work of the walls. All of the estimated blocks for construction of the building were created on site to save on transport costs and were completed on August 5.
This week, workers began shaping the nearly 400 special smaller blocks to be used in the lintel. Block work should be complete by mid-September followed by construction of roofing supports.
Donations have also been sufficient for RCRI to purchase the land that is adjacent to the existing structures, an answer to prayer that RCRI has wished for some time. This land is the future site of additional Nyabihu Christian Academy buildings.
In 2016, Nyabihu Christian Academy will enjoy full status as an elementary school, joining only a handful of Christian schools in Rwanda.
Thanks be to God for His faithful providence.
Please pray for financial support to continue to pour in so that this building and the rest of the complex can be completed quickly, and for how you can help.
