The
community of Hornoma has a school that goes up to the eighth grade. They
have so many students that they were using their library as a classroom
for the eighth graders. This year, a team from Southland Church came down
to spend eight days in the community helping construct a new, more spacious
library for the students. Two of the team members and a community worker
are shown in the photo to the left. |

| Some
of the kids also got in on the action long enough for a photo. Some of
the older students chipped in to help sift sand and wheelbarrow materials
to the site. |

Here
are a few photos of the newly finished library before its inauguration.
It was built with extra large windows facing the front to let in more
light and with a curved back wall to fit curved book shelves to house
the library inventory. |

The
inauguration of the library was on September 26th, 2002. The community
expressed their thanks with large wreaths for each member representing
FHI and the municipality who both participated in the construction. To
the left is the director standing on the doorstep of the new library.
Above right is the signing of the official inauguration papers. Below

| Thank
you Linda, Clark, Otie, Jerri, and Lisa for your hard work in making this
library happen! The professors, leaders, and students asked that we send
on their thanks and their invitation to visit again sometime soon! |
