Hi Everyone,
This is just a short note to let you all know that construction is booming here in El Pital. I think everyone involved in the project (nearly the entire community) has felt the excitement that I've felt as we've watched this structure unfold from a design on a piece of paper to a tangible, rock-solid reality. The attendance of the community volunteers (who rotate each day to ensure fresh faces and muscles) has been nearly 100%, and morale is high as even people from neighboring communities have stopped by to take a gander at what we are doing in El Pital. I was even stopped the other day in Chalchuapa (where I go shopping, about an hour away) by someone I had never met, who asked me about the big edificio we were raising in the campo. It thrills me to think that in a few months, we will install the computers and bookshelves that will make the school in El Pital into a thriving, high-tech education center. That's the idea, anyway.
We are several days ahead of schedule, and continuing at a great pace. And thanks to your generosity and support, we have enough funds to cover materials and a delicious lunch everyday for the volunteers. So far, so good. Here are a few photos to give you an idea of the progress thus far: http://picasaweb.google.com/bennnn.williams/ConstructionPhotosII
All the best,
Ben
