The local Tabitha staff have selected the worst affected families as recipients of the ten houses scheduled to be built by Ian and Robin Pearton's January building team - they will also provide new walls and roof to an eleventh house. Ian is a regular Tabitha builder and he and most of his team will be travelling all the way from Tasmania, Australia.

In the small photograph attached you will notice a man sitting beside what remains of his house. He has six children and his wife is very ill - Tabitha staff tell us that he is, understandably, devastated. Ian's trip is very timely.
