With the postponement of the Rotary Well-Drilling Team, travelers from 1st Presbyterian in Virginia Beach, VA decided to come on down and do what they could this week. Randy DuVall (of broken arm-fame) was joined by his buddy, Colin Herbertson, for a week in Chiapas. With short village trips at the beginning and end of their week, Randy & Colin joined John, Santiago and the regular work crew to begin interior finishing of the clinic. Wow!
Stuccoing of the interior of the exterior clinic walls was completed this week, along with polishing/squaring up a few interior columns. Since nearly 50% of the exterior walls will be windows, this was a job that could be completed by a small crew in just 5 days. Being under-roof and having all the roof framing wood down now, it's beginning to really feel like a building in there!
Special thanks to Randy & Colin for being such good sports this week and to those donors who have helped fund a small full-time construction crew so that work can continue. It'll be March before we welcome 2 more groups, but we'll be eager to have the help to make strides with clinic construction by then and hopefully have more funds to pay a larger construction crew. For now though, enjoy the pics of this week's work!
