Pam's brother Danford is also the construction supervisor and put together this detailed list of the expected cost of materials to build the orphanage. Given that this encompasses a ten bed dorm for orphanans, a home for Pam and Menda, who will be the care givers, and a guest cottage, the price of $31,767 US is quite low. Below is a sample of the materials list, as it would not all fit on a single page.
