We finished our three weeks working at ECHO with
an appreciation dinner at the A Frame.
We took our team picture in front of the bamboo.
Pictured are L to R Linda and Duane Wakefield, Sharon and Dick Conrad,
Nancy and Dennis Williams, Bob Smith, and leaders Meredith and Bill Tarbell.
Linda cut in around the power box and electrical cords outside the India House.
One of the two houses we worked on the outside of.
We power washed and cut in for the painter.
We also power washed all the sidewalks.
Bob and Dennis installing the last overhead light in the Seed Bank at ECHO.
It took three people to install the new windows in the seed sorting room.
Dick, Duane and Bob working on getting the window to get it to fit in.

Dennis and Dick put in the ceiling fans.
One of the finished rooms of the Seed Bank.
A wall was removed to enlarge the room and a new door installed.
The room was insulated, dry walled, painted, new lights were put in,
and new ceiling fans added. A viewing window to the germination room was added.
New windows, counter, a sink and air conditioner finished off the germination room.
The finished seed sorting room shelves.
The shelves will hold the sorted seeds and the containers for them.
The finished Leni.
The area was cleaned, power washed,
painted, and a water heater was installed.
This was a wonderful project in a place that reaches around the world
with the aid they provide to countries, by providing better seeds
and farming methods to developing countries. By working here we felt that
we extended our mission projects even further.
We have now moved to Miami to lead a team helping an inner city church fix their building.
