]]> We were asked to carry out some repairs to the Land Rover fleet at Saurimo and Kamundambala as well as renovation in a mission house at Beula. The first job was to replace a cracked chassis with a new one. This was completed in less than a week by Mervin Hanna and Phil Kennedy.

At Beula, the house occupied by the family was being extended with a new section, and the existing building was being modified to include a new bathroom, store and laundry facilities. Extra lighting and repairs to power sockets improved the facilities.

Back at Kamundambala a timing belt was replaced and brake vacuum pump fitted among other routine maintenance to these heavily used vehicles.

The second visit was to upgrade the three phase wiring systems and provide earth connectivity.
