A New Gate for Sanyu

We have another project update to share today. Prior to arriving at Sanyu we were made aware of the need for a new security gate. The old one had fallen down several times recently during some bad storms and it put the lives of the guards at risk.

We met with Barbara and a welder.  After the design and color for the new gate was determined, the welder and his team began the work at their shop.

Last Wed the gate arrived to be installed. One of the guards when he saw the gate arrive ran to tell the director with a huge smile on his face. He was so excited that he looked like a boy with a new toy. A team of 8 men removed the old gate and then, after some prep work, the new gate was lifted into place and some adjustments were made.

As others came to see what was happening, the office secretary said, “Our year has started great with a new gate. Now we are praying for a car.” Little did she know what was to happen the following day.

This past Saturday the finish coat was applied to the gate and side door.

Many thanks from the Sanyu family go out to the Canadian donors who made this project possible.
