In one of his recent newsletters, Sam wrote: "I am having the time of my life! Everything is exciting . . .  A few of the projects that I hope to start on in the next couple of weeks are:Replacing the roof on a store room, fixing the ceiling, painting, and cleaningthe ER, Painting the OR, fixing the operating light, scraping all windows in hospital, hanging curtains in all hospital windows, restoring private rooms (the hospital can charge extra for these, it will bring much need income), setting up a room to be a canteen, organizing medical stores, running power to the new malnourished ward, formally a vacant building, and finally, installing a battery pack to be charged by our generator so that we can have power without turning on generator. Solar power for the hospital is further down the list, but hopefully I will begin on the king’s house by end of week. We have many plans for the hospital, and Caleb and I both think of more each day. It is very exiting to imagine the possibilities.
