When it rains, it pours. You already know there's a norte, so the cool/wet weather makes it hard to get much construction work done anyway. But that's not the half of it! Funds to pay a full work crew were depleted several weeks ago, hence part of the reason John & Pablo are off fund-raising and relationship building. But yesterday, things got even worse!
Elias, better know as "The Maestro," is our crew chief and master builder for the clinic. Yesterday, he fell off the roof and injured his arm. Randy DuVall from Virginia Beach, VA who broke his arm on the worksite this summer can take some comfort in knowing that "it can happen to anybody," but overall, this is just one more piece of bad news for clinic construction. In the picture, the Maestro is the guy in jeans to John's left.
Please pray for Elias, that he is able to receive the required medical care so that he is pain-free and able to resume his duties soon. Please pray that the need for quality medical care for indigenous people is recognized by generous donors so that the funds needed to finish the medical clinic, now aptly named "Las Manos de Cristo" (The Hands of Christ), will provide the much-needed funds so that a full construction crew can resume its work and meaningful progress resume.
