The rattling of the concrete mixer is announcement to all within earshot that yet another milestone is being reached with the construction of the new guesthouse. A work team from Canada made great progress last week on setting the t-bars; this week, their Haitian co-workers are continuing the work. Those in the know are speaking of a completion date in weeks now instead of months! What a great day that will be!
Soon, we will have a new building for housing our visiting teams when they come to serve on La Gonave. The public gathering areas will better serve our volunteers with more ample dining and meeting areas; the dorm rooms are larger with better ventilation; and, the larger kitchen where those yummy Haitian dishes will be prepared will serve our Haitian cooks well. Thank the Lord for His provisions!
With progress comes challenge … naturally!
With the increased size of the guesthouse comes the need for more linens: sheets, pillowcases, mattress covers, bed coverlets, towels and washcloths. We are looking at a fun blue and aqua theme in the spirit of the Caribbean.
