Hespeler work team progress

Our home church, Hespeler Baptist, is sending down two teams this year. The first one is here now and they are working on various jobs around the Oasis care centre. Shown above is the newly laid sod in front of our guards house. We have worked on digging out the gravel all week and spreading top soil. We can say with some certainty that we have the only lawn in all of Manchay.
Shown above is our new two storey building that we are currently framing for the second level floor. We still have a lot of framing to do and rebar to put in. Our team is also working on laying brick pavers on walkways and bending rebar for our columns.

First 2 Metres

Today I got down to Pachacamac to buy some supplies for the well construction. The crew had dug down about 2 metres and the ground was already wet. It was very cool to see the different layers of earth up the side of the hole. As progress continues I will get down there more often. As it gets deeper i will try to take some pictures from down below.
