Kibuye Hope Hospital, Burundi
Burundi is poorest hungriest nation on earth. Landlocked in the centre of Africa, it has only one surgeon per million people. EMI was asked to assist with the redevelopment of the Kibuye Hope hospital in the rural area of Burundi.
Dave Lambert will talk about the design of the new Surgery Ward block.
Tony Sykes will talk about the challenges constructing the building using entirely Burundi manual labour.
Life as a Missionary Construction Manager.
Tony will also talk about long-term mission and recognising and responding to the call to such… Tony and his wife Judith have spent 16 years in total in India, Kenya and Burundi.
This is a talk not to be missed and a great opportunity to hear from someone who has given a significant period of his life to serving overseas for missionary hospitals.
