Blu has been camping out at Mapanza all week (he couldn't handle Camp Choma!) so we got to see all the progress they are making on the orphanage land.
I have to be honest and say my favorite part to see was the paved road going from Choma to Mapanza!! The Chinese government is working on the road and they are actually making progress!! Tractors and surveyors were out there, and most of the road had been grated. It makes me think it's actually going to happen, and probably pretty quickly!
The biggest thing they are doing on the land is clearing land where the electrical poles will go. It looks great! Blu has bought the poles but is having trouble getting them out of the bush where they were cut due to rains. Hopefully we can get that done this weekend and then get creosote on them and get them in the ground!
Another thing they have done is make a 12 foot wide road going to the land from the main road. This is for the sole purpose of getting our 40 foot container to the land when it gets here next month!
