Eagles Rest Kitchen Project

With all the children who originally lived at the church (see Children Page) it soon became obvious that the old store room was not a hygienic or at all suitable place for meals to be prepared. It had always been the pastor’s wife’s dream to have a real kitchen in the room, somewhere she could teach the girls to bake and prepare meals without the need to trudge between the main house, about eighty meters away, and the children’s quarters in all weathers.

Old Kitchen

When a donation came in enabling us the freedom to put it to any need we saw fit, the desired kitchen became our focus. Thanks to the generosity of a UK sponsor we were able to renovate that leaking old store room into a beautiful, functional kitchen. A few willing helpers and the work was completed.... Unfortunately – a bit over budget due to adding a gas oven and seeing the floor properly tiled.

Kitchen

It took many weeks but we were finally able to bless the family and children with this beautiful and functional kitchen. A few visiting YWAM (Youth With A Mission) volunteers joined us for two days in all that time. The majority of work was done by the Pastor’s own family and Rommel.

The children were then able to enjoy meals prepared in the new kitchen and Naw was thrilled with her new work area!
