Preparing the columns for the gate which has to be well anchored.

The wall entrance is now ready for the gate. We've got a design for the gate and our guys will be doing it. Something to look forward to.

The bulk of the work to put up the neighborhood wall will be done shortly. There will remain the finish work and the gate but it is already serving to protect the children's housing area.

You have to use a microscope but this is a photo of the wall that went up yesterday. It was a huge effort. Thank heavens the rains stayed away.

Work on the wall for the southern neighborhood is going well. We are about two-thirds done. We'd have been further along but the rains came. I'm very proud of our workers and staff who are so dedicated to their tasks.

I failed to mention yesterday that funding for the neighborhood wall is provided by a generous grant from Tom and Carol Cracchiolo in loving memory of their sister-in-law, Connie Cracchiolo, of Grosse Pointe, MI.

The order is reversed but you can see the fantastic progress being made in the construction of the neighborhood wall. The completion of this wall will serve to enhance the security of our children and allow us better control of their schedules and activities. We'll be able to move the youngest children into the neighborhood which will free up the Sixto dorm so that we can use it as an extension of the secondary school and computer lab.
