Fort White Rocks




For the first two days we were here, our crew did demolition work, painting, and organizing donations for a future school, clinic, and community center for local villages near East London. The site where we worked was called "Fort White" a former black theological college. We worked with an amazing missionary family, the Fudges (whose culinary skills were also quite appreciated) who has moved here from Texas to show God's love to the amazing people of their surrounding community--one whose unemployment rate reaches almost 80% and where AIDS affects 25-33% of the people. It will be awesome to come back and see the school and clinic open in January.

Here's two photos--one of Jeremy, Sherry and Trey with their demo gear on and one of the whole team in front of the school that was partially transformed in the inside (just like us so far).
