Construction Progress

We have continued to make great progress with our building in the past few months. 

We finally finished the road that comes in our gate and goes down past the first three houses for kids.  This is a big improvement for us as trucks that haul sand and cement blocks for building can get them to the building site.  Before we were hauling it all by wheelbarrow down from the road, which is hard work.

We received huge help came from the local department of transportation recently.  They had big machinery working on a road near us and they said that for only the price of fuel, they would help us level land for more buildings and a road.  In only a couple hours and for only $50, we leveled out what would have taken months to do by shovel.  We made space for a dorm building for groups and volunteers, a place for the future home of the Furrow family, and the start of the road to get to them.

Just this past week we were able to purchase a storage unit, which will be another big help.  Right now our "office" is really the storage building for all the things that have been donated to care for children.  We were thinking about all the volunteers and groups coming this year, wondering where they would be sleeping, when this new storage option became available.  Jason certainly likes to tease me (Sarah) about my love of storage, but it comes in handy.

The most exciting though, is the progress we've made on the 3rd house for kids.  This picture shows all three houses: the blue in the background is the 1st house, the yellow the 2nd, and the foundation in the foreground is the 3rd.

This 3rd house has come up fastest by far, with the walls shooting up in a matter of weeks.  Even though we have fewer construction workers at the moment, they've been more focused on a single project, and we've really seen the results.  We are so excited to see things coming together this fast.
​
We are reminded again of how soon these homes will be filled with children.
