The Teacher's House

Nate and Jen haven't been able to get on the Internet much lately (connection problems in Vanuatu), so not much blogging has been going on here! They told me I could go ahead and post these pics of their house to show what progress they've made so far.

The house is being built on the land where the college will eventually be built. I believe work has already been started on some of the other buildings.





This is the front view, I believe. A screen porch will go across the front, with a door on each end.





This one shows the woven bamboo "siding."





Not exactly sure what this one shows - except that maybe Nate's really tired????? ( I believe he has collapsed in the kitchen. Or it might be the living room. Not sure!) He could be resting his back - he fell backwards into the 7' hole for the septic tank the other day. Never a good thing to do!





This is the view they will have out of their bedroom window. Can you say "jungle!!" The large windows will help let air flow through during the hot summer season. No air conditioning here!!

At this point, construction has slowed due to the lack of funds. Please help us pray that the needed money will come in so they can get the house finished.

If you would like to help with this project, follow this link and note that it is for the teacher's housing.
