Pics of the project...

In my last blog post I mentioned that we are working on a project to build an Adolescent Clinic. Well, the construction is plugging along, here are some pics of the development...

This is Xiomara and I, the ones seeing the project through. She is one of the most dedicated employees I know. She is continuing working on this project despite the fact that the hospital has told her that they no longer have funds to be able to pay her. She says that she doesnt want to see this project fall because it is important to the adolescents in Corinto, so she will at least work until it is completed. Myself and other from the hospital and local NGOs are doing everything we can to make sure she starts getting paid again because it would be a big blow to the adolescent program at the hospital if we lost her.

This is the adolescente house. The walls are all up and in this picture they are working on putting in a front porch. With solid funding through the rest of the project, the Clinic should be completed in August.

Some workers completing the porch.

Xiomara pretending to mix the cement and help out. We both wanted to help out a bit with the construction but realized that we know pretty much nothing about building houses. In the background is part of the hospital.
