The 2 large rectangles on either side of the door in the new library wall will be filled with at steel grill to keep the computers secure.  The welder doing the work is wrapping 1/2" steel rod around a pipe to create coils that will later be cut into circles for the grill.



The road we take into Kisumu is lined with street vendors.  This particular area sells shoes which you can see displayed on the wall in the background.



This is Tracy, one of our students from Turkana.  She has been very helpful in identifying Turkana people and places in pictures taken by Wilma Wilcox.



This is Simon, one of our students from Uganda.  He has turned out to be very good at book repair.  He has great patience, fine motor skills, and attention to detail.  He is here mending torn pages.



The poles are heavy enough that it is a 3 man job to position them and get them plum.  Two people have to lift it up while the third person maneuvers it in the bottom of the hole.  Unfortunately, the business manager took one of Jim's workers today without telling him, so we wasted a lot of time trying to find things to keep busy.  About 4:00 Jim couldn't stand it any more and he went and asked Donna to be the third person.  Immediately several of her student library workers volunteered to help, including Rosina, a female student from Samburu.
