Terrific to read your update and to know prayer for diesel fuel answered. Praise the Lord. Love to you all, and especially to Jane P. Have a great week next week with the children. KEEP PRAISING Can't wait to hear about the rondavels. Wikipedia has a whole range of photos of different types. This is what it says: A rondavel is a traditional African-style house[1].
They are usually round in shape and is traditionally made with materials that can be locally obtained in raw form[2]. The rondavel's walls are often constructed from stones. The mortar may consist of sand, soil, or some combinations of these mixed with dung. The floor is finished with a processed dung mixture to make it smooth. The roof braces of a rondavel are made out of tree limbs, which have been harvested and cut to length. The roof itself is made out of thatch that is sewn to the wooden braces with rope made out of grass. The process of completing the thatch can take one weekend or up to a year with a skilled artisan, as it must be sewn in one section at a time, starting from the bottom working towards the top. As each section is sewn, it may be weathered and aged in so as to form a complete weatherproof seal.
