The Rafiki Village grounds workers have not had a working wheelbarrow to use on the 29 acres of this village. In the shop, Howard found 16 wheelbarrows, none of which could be used--broken axles, shredded tires, etc. We think they may be remnants from when President Jomo Kenyatta, the first Kenyan President, lived here. Howard kept looking for parts that could help him repair them. Using very limited tools, he was able to fashion a couple of new axles from a found metal pipe and create some brackets. Geoffrey took him to the welder in Mwiki village who welded it into Howard's design.
First photo is a "before" photo. Next photo is "in process" photo. A Rafiki Village worker is finishing up the installation of new axle. Stay tuned for the final results. Howard is having the time of his life--serving God creating tools for these workers from scraps!
