New kitchen and dining room

Deacon Peter, Junior (our contractor) and Berthony Constant siting the new kitchen and dining room.

Our guys starting the big dig of the foundation.

You get an idea of the size of this new structure from this photo.  It will be huge so that all the meals can be prepared here (over 3500 daily) and the children can all eat sitting down under one roof.  This project is made possible by a generous grant from the Cracchiolo Family Foundation.  We are very grateful to Tom and his family for this amazing gift.

Light in the darkness

 

Wide path (really bad road) that leads to our northern neighborhood where the older boys live.

 

Some of the 15 homes that are now electrified so the boys and others here enjoy lights at night.  Talk about an upgrade in comfort!

 

One of the three transformers and switches we were able to buy to make this system work. We express our gratitude to Thomas Cracchiolo and his family foundation for this miracle of light. The residents of the northern neighborhood and the population now have access to electricity for the first time.  I can see the homes from the roof of my house and it's quite a sight to behold now after dark.
