It has been a very busy 2 weeks. The Winkler, Manitoba team left Fri. Feb 13th and the Waterloo, Ontario team arrived that same evening. I left on the 12th for Aguascalientes to do eye clinics with a team from Steinbach, Manitoba. You can see much of that trip on the Dulce Refugio blog http://www.xanga.com/childrenofhope For now I wanted to catch you up on what has been going on with the projects at Pan de Vida.
So much happens in 2 weeks, I can hardly believe it!! The work on the paving blocks and apartments continue. In addition to that, the team painted the inside of the auditorium and hold your hats....the road is finally in progress!!! YaY...looks like we will have a paved road before the rainy season starts. What an incredible blessing. With transporting the boys back and forth, the chances of getting stuck will be eliminated. Sometimes it could take up to 1-2 hours to get the vans through if they got stuck.
It was again a blessing to have Waterloo team return with some new members and the ones that couldn`t come were missed. In addition to their work, they spent quality time with the kids. Agustine hosted a supper at the hacienda for the team to eat with the boys. Afterward, they had a time of volleyball then hot dog roast and testimony time. Boys can sure eat...haha!

I know this was a tremendous encouragement to Agustine and Geno as they supervise over 60 boys. It seems that much emphasis has been placed on finishing Pan de Vida and now with the hacienda, there is so much work to be done there as well. Logistics are still being worked out but in the meantime, we are seeking balance between the 2 facilities. The boys loved having the team come to play and eat with them and the team was blessed to get to know the boys and how they live.
