Phase two, day two

Today was filled with planning and measuring. The construction of the new school is a dream come true for many teachers, administrators and children. The building represents progress and the Carrefour neighborhood is buzzing with the progress of New Generation School. We heard today, that a school down the road wants to hire the workers we've employed to rebuild their school. What an great by-product of the "Raise this Roof" project. These men and women workers can now have a sense of stability knowing they can bring in income to their families for the next couple weeks.

Today was payday for many of the demolition workers. They worked hard through the heat and dust to complete the demolition in 3 days. The average worker gained $6 a day. They were ecstatic to get paid.

The carpenters, masons and cement mixers will receive pay when the roof is completed.
