Final tour of the school before we turned the building back over to the teachers...
Eagle Project
My name is Stephen Henley, and I am working on my eagle project. My goal is to remodel a school in Mafakathini, South Africa.
Words shared by the school teacher and Howick 1 Scoutmaster...

Awesome day at the ribbon-cutting ceremony!
Ribbon cutting today! But having some internet issues, so I’ll post some pics and videos later tonight or tomorrow. Better get a box of tissues handy because it was very emotional. Sorry to keep everyone in suspense. For now, enjoy this South African version of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”. Hey truck driver...move that truck!

Day #7 of my Eagle project...finishing the murals, changing locks, kitchen detail, curtains going up, and painting a Snoopy “Beagle Scout” on the outside wall to leave a Scouting footprint on the school. Tomorrow morning we cleanup, haul in the donations from America, and get ready for the ribbon cutting!

Day #5 of my Boy Scout Eagle project...more stone work, ceiling tiles, insulation, and the swing set goes into operation. Still more work to do...we will be working through the weekend. Thanks so much for the last minute donations. WE ARE JUST $750 AWAY from doing everything we wanted to do for this school. Please share with anyone who may want to support these awesome children!

Eagle Project Here is another video clip of the hand tree that we made yesterday with the village children of Mafakathini. Thanks so much for answering the request yesterday for final donations. WE ARE ONLY $865 AWAY from completely funding this project. We are headed out again early this morning to do more work!
Loved making this hand tree with the children in the Mafakathini village for the school.
