Today was another great day.
After making 2 trips to the school to get water for the construction and helping to frame up some columns, we took a break from building and went to a school about 30 minutes further up the mountain to deliver some books and check on a future building site for a school cistern.
This afternoon all except one column was poured and the rock retaining wall was completed. It was a very productive day and hopefully tomorrow the top beam will be poured and the other retaining wall started.
It is encouraging to see some from the community coming and continuing to volunteer with the work. We also talked with Pastor Fritz today and he is going to get 20 men to help dig the cistern next week hopefully. This is great news!!! This is also going to be 20 very happy families as they are currently trying to pay for school which started on Monday.
