Top is a pic of stucco going on the new wall on the roof,then is a pic of Mark getting his hands dirty. James and David (not me if you could not tell) posing for the camera. This shows how important it is to make sure the concrete is well consolodated. The top column was not tamped enough, and the other one was. The details must be seen to for a good quality product.
The generator is very important to peoples happieness here at Haiti Arise. It is a 40 kw generator. Today they bought about 200 gallons of diesel for it.It cost about $2000 US!!!! 
The weather is starting to get quite warm (35 C - 40C ) Not much rain yet which is good for building. We are out of cement again hopefully tommorrow it shows.The crew keeps changing with a couple of new faces every week and others gone. The people are quite deperate to have work as unemployment is 70 to 80%. Pray that our bodies holds up to all the heat and back breaking work. We hope everyone at home is ok.
David and James

ReplyDeleteThe heat sounds good!!! The obvious difference in the columns is a great visual of what you have been teaching them. Keep up the good work. James, I am glad that you have made friends there and are having a bit of fun.
ReplyDeleteI pray that God would sustain you in the heat, that he would multiply the supplies and money, and that he would give you rest.
Love you both and miss you terribly.
Love
