Lapa

We are building an outside patio and fire pit for our families to enjoy meals, fires and hanging out together. In Lusaka we would call it an insaka, which is a thatched hut, built with gum poles. It is coming along very nicely. Luke and Brent designed it and have been building it along side our workers, Movette, Terren and Lloyd. This week we hired a group of women to cut the tall grass that will be used for the thatch. They delivered loads and loads of it and laid it out in our yard. The grass will dry for a couple weeks as the guys finish building the frame for the room. It is great to watch it take shape! We are excited and are looking forward to lots of good times out here! Why don’t you come visit us and enjoy it with us?
