building a table (and building young men)

This is our friend Pierre.  He is the carpenter who built the new cabinets in our kitchen.  He goes to the Koura Kano church, and is volunteering to teach carpentry at the orphanage.  It’s amazing to witness what is happening with these boys as they learn a skill that they view as valuable and respectable.  They are like sponges, taking in every word, quick to want to try every skill themselves.  Quite frankly, it’s magical.  Their plan is to build a table, but they are really building something else.  young men.
