We Have Water!!!!


Click here for updated photos from today.

We are so happy to report that the Rose of Sharon School finally has water. The children will be coming tomorrow. Our water truck arrived this afternoon with 2,500 gallons and will return in the morning to fill it completely. We are so thankful to everyone who donated. We appreciate YOU being part of the solution!! The team is tired and sunburned. We moved 25 cubic yards of sand today and I for one have a mean backache! Tomorrow we will return to the site to move one more truckload of sand, finish up the ionization system, distribute clothing and school supplies and clean up the preschool play yard. We need to move quickly because we will be leaving around 3 to attend a soccer match between Barranquilla and a team from Uruguay in the South American champions league. Thanks again for your participation in making this trip a reality. That's all for now.

Good night from the team in Barranquilla.........
