I wanted to update you on the latest project that has come to completion. It is the playground that was donated by Sika. Last year, the local construction company made a generous donation to many of the projects that needed to be done to complete the immediate vision of Pan de Vida. One was the second floor of the on-site Christian school, which was finished in April. Then the auditorium roof was installed and the stucco is now done and ready for paint. The water truck was delivered and is used daily.
One of the most necessary items was the paving of the road but it has been delayed due to logistics. In the beginning, the land that Pan de Vida is on, was in the middle of no where with no formal roads. The existing road is actually the result of a beaten path. After surveying and many meetings, the conclusion is that the current road is on someone else's land and the owner didn't want it paved. They have now resolved the issue and the road will be re-routed and paved. We do pray this will happen before the next rainy season. I am attaching a photo of it dry but you have to experience it in the rain to really appreciate the need for a paved road.
The volunteer apartments above the kitchen continue to progress. The roof is getting prepared to be poured. The plan is for the roof, plumbing, wiring to all be in place so that the teams next year can come in and do the finish work inside.
Also, as we were on the way home from Pan de Vida, the truck tire went down on us and we stopped in to get it aired up and by none other than Lupillo. He grew up in Pan de Vida and graduated this past June and is now working at the local tire shop. When I saw him working, I was instantly reminded of the fruit God has produced through the ministry of Pan de Vida.
