Thanks to Fyffes for the help in building a new kitchen in the Parish Dormitories. The old kitchen with its wooden walls and dirt floor was home to, I think, half of Brazil's wild insect life!!!
The parish runs a male and female dormitory which is used to house people who come into town from the Settlements. Often they are in for a parish gathering or training course. Sometimes we house the men of the roads. During a recent bad rain storm bridges were flooded out so we opened the dormitories to house some stranded shoppers.
The new kitchen has tiled floors and walls for easier cleaning and a new ceiling. The women cleaners are delighted with the tiles. It was built under an existing roof. The eating area outside the Dormitories was also tiled for easier cleaning.
The old kitchen ~ before. No windows just shutters, dirt floor and wooden walls and no ceiling.

The finished kitchen, with its tiled floor and wall, three new windows, two new sinks and a new ceiling. Now if we could only encourage the ladies to replace the dirty wooden table for a stainless steel one. Of course it would be expensive as it would have to be shipped up from Sao Paulo.
The eating area was tiled as well. The women are delighted with it as it makes life a lot easier for them. These facilities will be used almost every weekend.
THANKS FYFFES!
