Writing in Concrete






Bonswa…

We were able to get a lot accomplished today…even with 3 of our team members getting whatever I had on recently. It must have been some kind of 24 hour flu because everyone is getting better fairly quickly.

Today we focused on rebuilding the wall at the back of the compound. We are striving to work alongside the Haitians as much as possible so that we can transfer our skills and techniques to them. For instance, the team that we have with us to rebuild the wall are the contractor and 3 laborers that helped on our last house. Right now our plan is to continue using this team on other projects and eventually have them do the teaching. Above are some pictures from today.

Tomorrow we plan to finish the wall so that Sunday we can start putting in the foundation for the house in City Soleil for Pastor Moriel.


Our Haitian contractor John picked up our new techniques very quickly. By the end of the day it looked like he was really recognizing the value of what we are introducing here. Donna and Larry own their own masonry business so they were a great team to train the Haitians.
