What would finish it
The gift did everything it was given for, and the kitchen is cooking. These three things would complete the room beside it.
A water tank to harvest rainwater, and the pipes to run it
Cabro stones to floor the area where the children eat
Plaster and power in the dining hall
Still needed to finish

Every shilling of the gift is accounted for.
Pastor Simon reconciled the build line by line: what each thing was estimated at, what it actually cost, and where it ran over. Partners who gave towards this work read it in full when they sign in.
