Hello blog readers. Sorry for not posting for a long time. I have been wanting to do a post about what we have been working on but hadn't gotten any good pictures. Well finally I decided it was time to post something anyways without pictures.
We have been more of a salvage team than a construction team lately. As many of you know, we have moved our children's home to its new site and that meant that the old home was available to rescue any and all materials that could be used by us our people we know. It is very likely that the old site will be sold mainly for the land so we have been removing most of the wood (wood being very valuable here in the middle of a desert) and much of the roofing material. Also being removed are many of the doors and sinks and toilets. Most of them, being quite old and not fitting into our current decorating scheme, are being taken to the Oasis where many of the families that we minister to will be able to take them home and use them. A large shed has been removed from the property as well and next week we will be installing it a the Juniper Tree home as our new work shop. This building will also house our new carpentry shop where we will be teaching the older kids skills that they can use in the future. We also removed a large structure that houses our clothing donations and we have reinstalled it at the Juniper Tree.
Recently we received a large donation that will enable us to pour the concrete sports court as well as finishing many of the final touches on the houses. We have many teams coming over the next 3 months so this is a very exciting time for us at KAI Peru construction. We are hoping to be able to advance the work alot in the rest of this year.
