Transcript of Esther's House Newsletter, March 2012
The new kitchen is ready for unveiling! During the month of March and early April
we were blessed by the efforts of 5
volunteers from the United States who came
to work on our kitchen and update it to a
modern institution kitchen. Roy Downs from
Albany, Georgia spent a month overseeing
the project and was joined by a rotating
series of other men from Arkansas and
Pennsylvania. The first 10 days Doug
Kitchens, from Cross Church Springdale in
Northwest Arkansas joined him and the tile
floor was laid and the cabinets were built and
painted. We dropped Doug off at the airport
and picked up Ryan Roush and Jon Downey
from Keystone Baptist Church in PA.
They took care of hanging and painting the
ceiling and installing the lights over the next
10 days. They also installed a large exhaust
fan in the exterior wall so the cooks do not get
too hot working in an indoor kitchen. Our next
trip to the airport had us saying farewell to Jon
and Ryan and picking up Mike Dunnam from
Cross Church Pinnacle Hills in Northwest
Arkansas. Mike took care of laying the tile countertops, fabricating the iron cage around
the gas canisters and helping with all the
finishing touches to the kitchen project. We
installed LP gas lines and have a nice
restaurant sized gas stove, a double gas burner
for cooking the large pots of nsima and a
restaurant sized sink. Below are some before
and after pictures so you can rejoice with us.
we encourage our kids to always attend
the classes and programs at Esther’s
House. While Alyssa and Stacy were

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider
others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own
interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:3-4
This new sink is suitable for cleaning the large
pots we cook with here at Esther’s House and we
have many cabinets and a center island to utilize.
Within 2 weeks we had all the repairs
completed and were well into adding extra
support to all the roofs in all of our
buildings. We are thankful to God for
protecting everyone and for provision to
repair the damage and improve the other
existing roofs. We will always face

ish and tutoring them in all subjects using
the same textbooks that they have at school.
The nice cream colored walls give the room
a brighter and larger look and the tile floors
and new ceiling with lights enhance the room
and make it easier to keep clean.
This project is such a blessing to our campus
and gives us so many advantages for caring
for the children. We can now start baking
our own bread in the new oven or cakes
and even cookies for special occasions.
Very exciting!!

The final wall is the one with the pass

kitchen into the dining room. The window
had been boarded up since we were not
using it and the space was used to store our
maize and sugar.
