Photo Update

We've been fairly busy here over the past few days, and if you throw in an iffy Internet connection, the result is that I'm behind in my posting!

So without further delay, here are a few photos to show you what Mercy Tech Mission has been up to here on the ASAM farm in Mozambique. I'll try to throw in a few captions to guide you along...
Rick Cogbill digging out the repair pit for the future maintenance shop. Not bad for only my second day ever on a backhoe! (Todd Green photo)
Fani and his crew fine-tuning the shape of the pit.
Fani (who I am also giving guitar lessons to during lunch break...)
Ed Hyslip helping to guide the generator out of its building for an overhaul (Nice job by Rick Neufeld who's at the controls of the backhoe) Photo by Todd Green
Todd Green (L) and Ed Hyslip (R) showing the students how to tear down a diesel engine.
There's an awful lot of pieces that go into one engine...
Todd Green giving drumming lessons to Prosper Fernando, one of our mechanics students.
A small Chinese diesel that is used to run a maize mill. This one is in sad shape, having dropped a valve...
It's been a productive week for sure! (Photo by Todd Green)
Got to upload this quickly before they shut off the Internet so that Tome can do some welding...welcome to life in the African bush!
