Breaking Ground!

This weekend, we broke ground on the land! We are building one of the workers' houses-a 3 bedroom/1 bath house for our guy workers to stay. (Groundskeeper, security, etc.) We will then build one for the female teachers. Anyway, we decided that if we start on this and can get it done by the time teams come in April/May, it would really help. It will also help to have a dry and safe place to store building supplies, such as cement!

Blu had a crew of 6 guys who helped him dig the footings for the foundation. On Monday, Blu will go back with cement and they will start laying the footings. Yeah I'm not really sure what that means, but it sounds like I know what I'm talking about doesn't it?!




African army ants!

Wow! How exciting! And those ants look like they could carry away a small child! Be careful!

I can't wait until our team comes in May, so very excited to be able to follow the progress via the pictures and web.
