HHTH has to meet government requirements for the buildings and
surrounding environment before we can receive orphans into the Palace of Mercy.
We first must receive our NPO (non-profit organization), then meet certain
physical requirements. One is to have the POM painted at a certain quality. Our
housekeeper at Awelani, Rejoice, heard us and told us about her husband,
Patrick.
Patrick used to work at Tshikondeni Mine. When it closed down many
people lost their only source of income.
To help the community, we hired Patrick to paint all the window trims
and door frames in the Palace of Mercy.
To get a real quality job without paint ending up all over the floor and
on the windows and doors, we needed a professional. Patrick’s job at the mine
was to keep all the Miner’s houses painted in tip top shape. He is doing an
incredible job. His Mother, Esther also helps him with the finer work.
We
will send photos when he has finished.
