I.m sending more pictures and not muich text because thekeyboard I,m using tonight has even less keys with visable letters than the ona last night and it´s sticky with coke or somthing.

Working on the pileta

The first wall is completed

Here we are putting the rebar together . The rebar will reinforces the concrete. I think Jason calculate that we made around 2,000 ties not counting our redoe´s. A tie is using a small length of wire to tie the crossing pieces if rebar together.

The rebar is tied and the basic plumbing is in

The banana pit at 3 meters deep.





These are pictures of us last night dividing up the food that was purchased from your donations. By the time we left you all had raised $2,500, most of which went to purchasung food for the 14 families in Pachetulul. Each family will recieve 20 lbs of rise, beans, and corn, plus sugar, cooking oil, and other things.




Driving out of Pachetulul at the end of the day
