Site 1- Antonio’s team

Tough day in the blistering heat! We have no electricity on this site so everything is by hand including mixing all the mortar and concrete and carrying it in buckets and throwing it by hand to create the foundation. Started our septic system as well. Here is our day!


Site 2- Pablo and team 

Edit

We had a busy day of digging, filling buckets and moving bricks. We were very excited about the cement machine but quickly realized you just have to fill buckets of sand and cement faster! Once again- very hot sun! 


We had a nice visit from the family we’re building for today, Hugo, Fatima and Mateo. They are so appreciative!

Site 3-Crisobel and team 

Our site is fast progressing! We have almost completed the foundation thanks to our cement mixer!
