Goodbye pink walls

We are steadily chipping away on two fronts at the Healing Home at this time, with our aim to be ready to receive patients from August 1.


Firstly, we are doing staff interviews for three full-time positions (two nurse carers, one cook/cleaner) and a part time position (evangelist/discipler plus volunteers recruiter and organiser). The best people are busy people ... but things are moving ahead well. We've also had a good response from people volunteering. The next two weeks will be focussed in bringing everything together.

Secondly, there is a house to equip and a few changes to make. First change has to be the pink issue. The large bedroom (was two bedrooms but a jack-hammer changed that before we took over) was half pink; half mustard yellow. Chheat and I got the first coat of creamy stuff on today.

Chheat in action today. I bought the 3-metre ladder this morning - and Chheat held onto it as we gently cruised back from the market on the Spider.

Peter Parker arrives on Friday. This Kiwi handyman shall become bed-making expert, kitchen joiner and general 'get the house ready to go' blessing.

We also have Andrew Smith with us again. He came last Tuesday and has a full three weeks, training counsellors for Hagar and doing some good work with the young men at our church. Sorry no pics - Chheat overcoming the pink may be the last pic for a bit as my camera is packing a sad over being gently dropped on the tile floor .... :-(
