June. What a wonderful month!
The heavy rain has stopped. Just light showers persist, and they are appreciated. More renovation is taking place. With the move of the Tom Nunnally Sewing Center to new quarters, our thoughts turned to the best use for the former building. As you may recall, it was built as a home for boys.
When the government decided we could no longer house our boys, we converted it into a sewing center. With the expansion of the Tom Nunnally Sewing Center and the move to its new location, the former boys’ home became available again as we continue to develop.
The best use of that large facility in the middle of Urukundo Village would be to convert it into a guest house. Good idea. The work has begun. When it is finished, it will have a dorm for girls and a dorm for boys as well as baths and three private rooms with private baths for adult guests. It will sleep 24 visitors. In Mama’s house, there are three guest rooms with space for six guests. We now have lodging for a total number of 30 guests at one time.
The original boys’ home is being transformed into Urukundo’s guest house.

Front entrance opens into what will be a sitting room.
The main room is ready with sleeping room doors visible. Now we need beds for volunteers and visitors.
