A Big Workday

A lot of things happened as this massive team began its work today.  We got the batteries fully connected inside the PowerPac, we also fired up our small inverters that will eventually provide power for all the communication equipment. 

We also began work on the Solar Inverters on the outside of the PowerPac.



We began running conduits in the open trench headed for the Hospital Utility Room where our centralized panels will be located.
One funny thing happened as the guys were putting conduits in the trench.  A roll of duct tape got dropped into the open sewer trench and rolled down the hill right past the PowerPac.  No one reached into the trench to retrieve it while it rolled past...

If things go well tomorrow, we may turn the PowerPac on using the incoming utility power, so that we can begin testing the system.  Solar panels are being installed and by sometime next week they should be providing power from the sun to the PowerPac.


Our times of sharing today were very special as Miguel told his story of how the Lord has gotten  hold of him and changed his life.  God is doing good things among this team as some who were sick are now doing better, but it seems every day someone new is having issues.  So for that and for safety we are asking for prayers, that Satan would not prevent this hospital from being able to make such a difference in this country, and that he would be held back from sabotaging our progress as we attempt to get this needed clean power in place that the hospital can continue to do what they do best.  We also ask that prayers be made for Caleb (the hospital's project manager and our team's main source of direction) as he is struggling with something right now and was unable to be with us at all today.  Symptoms seem to be Malaria-like, but the initial blood tests do not indicate that.

Sunday, August 19 - Gene & Steph Flewelling

Today is Sunday.  Team Four (Tom, Wayne, Mike, Darrell, Jonathan, Isaac, Oliver) left for Bujumbura around noon.  Their flight leaves for Brussels at 8:05PM.  That leaves six of us here for one more week to wrap things up.  Over the past couple days we have continued to monitor the operation of the PowerPac and have been compiling O&M manuals and documents.  The PowerPac has been performing flawlessly now that the settings have been fine tuned.  On Friday, the hospital experienced a "new reality"; with the national power grid off all morning, there wasn't even a "blip" on the hospital lights as they performed surgeries and other critical functions. Friday afternoon Collins Muiruri, engineer with Africa Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF), traveled to Kibuye from Nairobi, Kenya to look at our PowerPac and to meet with us.  AMHF was a major financial contributor for the installation of this electrical system.  Collins was very impressed and e...

Big Friday

Sorry about not posting yesterday but I was a little under the weather.  Felt much better today and was able to assist in some of the testing and configuration of circuits within the PowerPac. The other day we posted photos of the ditch the diggers were working on that unearthed the existing electrical feeder cable connected to the Staff Housing.  The desire was to reroute this cable to the PowerPac, so that it would provide stable power to the houses except when the SMA system would shut off the non-essential circuits due to low batteries.  The cable that was dug up was 840' in length.  The diggers were careful not to cut it when they were digging, but we repaired some nicks in the outer jacket as the wire was redirected up the newly dug trench to the hospital.  There were many, many Burundi workers who worked alongside our own crew to do this. Today we also began to close up wireways and panels, as there won't be any more major circuits pulled from ...

Sunday was not our typical "day of rest".  The missionaries here have graciously shared all they have with us, even the homes that they live in.  Since the family of the home we were "inhabiting" for the past three weeks is returning this week from Kenya, we rose early and began to transition to a new home.  That meant moving all refrigerator and freezer items, and pantry supplies in addition to personal luggage, etc.  The move went very well with all hands pitching in.  Pray for the family whose home we now "inhabit" as they are in Kenya enrolling their 2nd child at Rift Valley Academy.  The commitment of these parents to the work in country and all the resulting sacrifices involved...  well, it's an emotional time sending your child away to boarding school.   After breakfast, we walked to the PowerPac where we took a team photo using the drone so we could capture components of the PowerPac with the team.  Sorry I couldn't attac...
