We were able to pour the floor today at our project. What a difference already! Our mixer was unavailable so we hired 4 young Honduran men (besides the 2 masons) to help mix and carry the cement by hand. This is the way they almost always do it here and although it is back breaking work it does provide jobs. Each man earned $10 for the day...about $2.50 more than the usual daily rate for an "ayudante". Me and my boys were there working as was Roy McClain and Jon Olvera. Good work guys and thank you.
Thank you also to all of my generous friends back home who have pitched in to make this project happen. I just wish you could be here to see the difference your giving is making. From the very bottom of my heart, thank you.
