Presentation

I am posting some pictures showing the presentation we did. We presented to an audience that included Cammie, folks that sit on the board of Elikia Village, a local guy that had lived in the US and had done Elikia but is now living in Kinshasa again (more on him sometime later), a friend of Cammie (and ours) living nearby, and a visitor from Canada.

We were able to borrow a projector from the Canadian visitor and project onto the wall of one of the houses we were staying in. This is the first screen of our presentation. One of Cammie's friends gave us permission to use this picture. This is really a picture of the vision for this village. Giving children and women families. We discussed whether the front should show the plight of widows and orphans but felt that we wanted to have a picture that showed what we are all hoping for and this is it!
Kevin, our fearless leader, started the presentation with a verse and a picture of the team.
David discussed the survey and showed the contours.

I followed with an explaination of the master plan.After I talked about the phasing, Colin showed the preliminary plan for the staff housing.And Austin talked about the design of the school.Tom followed us with some discussion on the structural designs.Ric gave us a variety of options on how to get water from the spring and how we would deal with wastewater.Alvin gave us the overview on how we would get electricity where and when needed.


Akachi finished the presentation by telling us how much it would cost and how long it would take.

This was an intriguing presentation after an amazing week. Everyone had their strengths and skills to bring.

And Lucy helped to put all of our individual presentations together into one.
