It's very difficult to get pictures of the construction, no matter what angle you use! But many pictures have been taken at varying stages, and it is starting to look like a real school!
These first 2 photos were taken in November of '08.
Here they are getting ready to pour the stairs that lead from a raised area to the lower area. Everything is done by hand, and the structure is very, very sound. To the left (in the blue shirt) is Don Francisco, the foreman for the project. He really knows what he is doing and has supervised a good project.
These photos of the stairs were taken in January of '09.
There have been many skilled and unskilled laborers involved in the construction. We felt bad when we learned that some of the unskilled laborers were earning $5 a day for their work -- and it is HARD work as you can well imagine. Lugging everything around in the 100+ degree temperatures requires much more stamina than I have!
