Well, we got stood up by our lawyer yesterday and also by the air-conditioning serviceman. Unfortunately that’s a way of life here for many people. When there are exceptions you really appreciate it. We drove by Santos’s place yesterday and discovered he has poured the concrete forms for two more filters. He’s off to a good start. This morning we visited Gloria, the woman who lost her husband last year. We want to provide her with some furniture as she has none. Eight people live in a single room, and they have only three beds. We will start by having Alfredo build some bunk beds. Joel and Marcos are sanding and painting the metal “canaletas” under the roof of the front porch. Next they will do the steel bars that cover our windows. We hope to paint the building as well.
Today we hosted registration for the ten students that are being scholarshipped to the private school. It started out as an enrollment exercise but developed into a very encouraging and inspiring service.
