BRICK BY BRICK CONSTRUCTION COMPANY IN FORT PORTAL, UGANDA

Written By Michelle John

For the last three weeks "Brick by Brick Construction Company" has been in Fort Portal constructing two 10,000 liter water tanks for "Virika School of Nursing", and training the students and staff of St. Josephs Technical Institute in ISSB technology.

The students learned about making the ISSB Bricks, the construction skills needed to build rainwater tanks, and the maintenance  of the water tanks.

Surprisingly, they also made a new Brick Press with the help of their Instructor Brother William, which they can use for future projects.

It is interesting to see that they learned what they paid for (brick-making and tank construction) and even what they didn't pay for (fabrication of the brick press), yet it was the greatest achievement.
