Phase two, day five

The tin was carried down to the school today from the hardware store. A total of 141 pieces will canvas the 1750 sq ft. building. The exterior walls are receiving a layer of stucco and the braces for the roof are being constructed. We're all anticipating the end of this project. Two weeks ago the "Raise this Roof" project was discussed and planned. We're seeing the last days of this project.

We just found out that New Generation School will not be able to open until April. There is no funding for books, supplies, or teachers. These funds will be coming from the government. The families who usually pay tuition will not be able to, due of the lack of jobs available. The Haitian Department of Education will not be able to visit the school until April, thus accounting for the delay. One positive aspect is that the new school building will help expedite the process.

Thanks to all that have contributed.
