The
group size for this trip will be 20 - 25 people. We will be working with local
people in a construction project, and will also be spending time each day with
children in a Bible school program. Prior construction experience is desirable,
but not essential.
Our main construction task may involve working on
a new kitchen and dining room facility for the nearby retreat center (see project
details). We may also do some work at the orphanage
across the street. We will also be organizing a Bible school for the local children
-- children from the surrounding areas will attend every afternoon after school.
Anywhere from 200 - 500 children can be expected.
