The kids got together and decided that they wanted to renovate the condemned tree house that sits in the courtyard. We got a quote from our fundi (expert helper) and the kids started doing odd jobs for people around the compound, trying to raise enough to buy the lumber and paint. After two weeks and about 1/10 of the money raised we knew we needed a bigger project.
It was determined that the kids would have a bake sale. Kids (and a lot of mom's) baked up a storm and one beautiful Saturday morning, the bake sale was on. 
The children raised nearly enough money to purchase the lumber for the tree house and we pitched in for the rest and for the sealant paint. The dads got busy the next day and pulled down the old tree house.
Now, we've got a bit of a problem...we're short engineers on this site, so the tree house is still just a pile of lumber on our back patio. Anyone out there have a suggestion of how to get his baby off the ground (pun intended). :)

I emailed a friend about your treehouse project. Stay tuned for help on that one. :-)
Wow, what a great idea, I wish I could be there to help...not that I'm a good engineer, but I have built a few big tree houses. Tell Ashley we pray for her (all of you actually) we miss you but it sounds like God is really using you. Thanks for serving Him.
