On the ground in Butare, Rwanda, in January 2014

Before Simon arrived, Chris had contracted with a local man -- Jean D'Mour -- to assist Simon in the LightHouse project


When Simon arrived in Butare on January 8, he had several concepts in mind, but we all agreed that the metal-framed oversize baskets would be the best fit for the atrium.

At first we tried wire ties, but determined that welding was much better
He hired a local welder with a few assistants





We hauled the one basket frame to the roof for storage
That's Chris with the basket



That's Simon with the basket



That's Zachary with the basket
