Spring is
the season of new life and hope. As in Nordic hemisphere the sunlight and
daylight increase day by day when moving towards summer, I feel more and more
energized and inspired. New ideas start to emerge and joy of the beauty of life
is splashing through the veins. As the world turns more and more colorful, the
more I believe in that everything is possible. Added to this, during the spring
God has blessed with so many gifts and visions. One of them is definitely the
Waiting Hearts project, which due to continuous prayer and hard work has
proceeded now very far. When dropping by
Swaziland and visiting the RFM hospital grounds, I was so happy to see that over
the last four months the project has seen exciting progress and the renovation is about to come to its
end. Huge thanks about this belongs to Seth and Kaylee Carley from Bethany
First Church, and the administration and maintenance team from RFM, who have
all done amazing job and been so committed to the project already almost one
year.
The old bathtub, sink and toilet have now been
removed as well as old appliances and furnishings that were worn and useless.
They have been replaced by new showers, the new sinks and toilet, and new
shelvings. The hut is now painted from roof to walls with happy yellow and
bright green. New windows and doors have been installed and painted to replace
non-existing ones. Better lighting and
more electrical outlets have been rewired. A brand new lower ceiling has been
put to make the building warmer and more comfortable. New guttering was put on
the outside of the building to prevent leaking. A washbasin is now placed
outside the hut for women to do laundry. Thanks to the nursing student team
from US, hut is also now surrounded by beautiful flower garden. Added to these
beautiful details in the architecture of the renovated hut, new cleaning
equipment allows the current habitants to keep the hut a cleaner, healthier and
safer environment.
The final touches are still being done and new
mattresses are still on their way, but the waiting hearts of the mothers can
already wait in a cozier, newly renovated, clean and safe hut. Colorful hut
looks so much warmer and more inviting place to stay now and mothers are so happy
for all the improvements.
