Keep on Trucking

With the foundation anchors poured, work continued.

Water was brought up from the bottom of the ridges to the school for use in concrete mixing.

The surface had to be leveled flat to make sure the tank would not shift and roll away.

On a walk to another part of the community, we discovered a beheaded coral snake.

Blocks were used to construct a pit where water could be gathered from a spigot off of the tank.

I found a good use for the pipe joints.

The ocean and the sun.

Night Work

A night-time visit to the springs down the mountain from where we stayed.  This is where we came to get water, to bathe, and to wash clothing.

Working late at the school.

Setting up the foundation forms to pour concrete.

Mixing up concrete at night.

The Main Group Arrives

The main group arrived at San Salvador a few days after Evan and I came into the country.  We picked them up and took them to the community.  The ride up to the community required that we all pile onto the top of a truck with our supplies and equipment.

A better piece of road leading to the community.

We passed a guy on a horse partway up the mountain.

The radio antenna is near the community.

After a long bumpy journey, we all made it to the community in one piece.
