Choir move house

The choir moved into their new rented accommodation yesterday, the move went well with just their braille books to collect today. Sadly no offers of help were forthcoming even though I let a number of people know. The road from the farm to the new house is quiet so they put the wardrobe on the roof of the minibus and drove slowly for the 2k drive up the hill, they then went back and did the same with the bed, they had to put the large fridge freezer on the seats through the side door and left it sticking out the side! the driver drove slowly and they managed to get everything up there safely.
When I called Last night they were settled in and really happy. The new house is three bedrooms one bathroom a small kitchen a small dining room and lounge. Outside the house there are two panels ( a panel is a small room able to accommodate to to three people like a small bedsit) three of the boys will be in one and the driver and Bongani will stay in the other.
We read psalm 37 and prayed together Percy shared from John 15:1-2 where it speaks of God pruning the vine in order for it to bare more fruit, he then paralleled this to how God has moved them into a smaller place in order to give them a bigger place in the future.
they have a number of needs :- furniture, cooker, plates and cutlery, curtains, most things really.
they also need a alarm for the mini bus as there is no garage at the new house.
The new landlord seems like a nice man and the rent is very fair less than half of what we were paying. This will greatly help our over stretched resources.

After over 18 months at the Farm we call Solomon House we have made the decision leave and find alternative accommodation near by. The main reasons are the cost of the house has nearly doubled since we started renting, due to the exchange rate, this with along with a large rent increase. But also with the problems they have had with neighbours. and
The choir are all packed up ready to leave Solomon House but as yet don't know where they are going !!!
There is a possibility that they will go to a three bedroomed house which has a living room, dining room and kitchen. The living room could possibly be used as a fourth bedroom.
Sku is taking the choir to the property tomorrow to see what they think. Obviously it is considerably smaller than Solomon House, but with all the problems ( still ongoing) associated with their present home they will probably be glad to move and adapt to a smaller living area. The locality seems good in that it has a proper tarmac road instead of a muddy track ! and is on a bus route and near to a shopping facility. It has mains water, and there is a local primary school. There are neighbours which could be a blessing or otherwise -- there is no way of knowing!
The property would be considerably cheaper to rent and to run which would indeed be a help to us as we really need to be focusing on funding the container and its forthcoming transport to Swaziland. School fees are also outstanding and need to be paid.

Senate's UK visit

Senate (she works for the World Health Organisation we met her on our last visit in 2007) is safely back in Swaziland after a visit to the UK. It was great to meet up with her again and show her all the things that we have for her ready to send in the next container.
