The Piggery

This project was the first project that I worked on and completed when I arrived here to Uganda. Kevin was the one in charge of the project and he and I worked on it with locals for a week and built the piggery for Christine. She is building this piggery as an example piggery for the people in the town to come and see how they can make one and start a pig business. I am just going to post pictures of the progress of the piggery as we built it and show you guys at home just what we did. I figure it would be a lot easier for you guys to see and understand what it is.

This the existing piggery that Christine runs. We built another right next to it.

We are laying the foundation for our piggery.

Here I am laying the first brick for our piggery.

Some of our helpers posing as the walls start to go up.

We are posing in front of our piggery which is half way done.

Here is it almost completed. All we have left is to put the roof on it and put the floor in.

We are still working on completing the roof and flooring. The money that was donated to us for this piggery was not sufficient and we are waiting for more funding to be approved before we can finish the project officially. We should have it completed by mid July at the latest. Christine has four baby pigs that are growing fast and she need more room for them to stay, so we will hurry up and finish the piggery for them.
