The final room layout of the
new girl's buildings has been decided on. Last night, Israel had a meeting with
our sustainable design advisor to decide locations of extra windows for cross
ventilation and what size solar power system we'll need to put in. Once these
things are sorted, the designers will send me the final plans and elevations.
We've decided on the name Sharmah House which comes from the
Hebrew word Shammah which means The Lord is present, while
Sharma in the local language means, happiness, shelter, protection,
joyous comforter. The new buildings will include, sleeping rooms, office,
infrimary, playroom, study area and bathrooms around a walled garden/courtyard
plus a seperate new kitchen and open sided dining hall which will be shared with
the boys. The existing dining hall will be used to accomodate the cook and some
widows. The location of the new buildings have been marked out and excavation
of the foundations will start next month.
