Building #3 progress


Great progress is being made on building #3 under Watson's supervision. They had to take a couple of weeks off with all of the craziness of the elections, but now they have a roof on the third building and will be done plastering it in a couple more days.

Hi Dave,
The school and orphanage are located in between Leogane and Gressier, behind the Korean UN base. Turn at the dirt road (heading west) that goes by the Korean UN base and follow it out until it ends in about a kilometer and you'll be at the O.E.E. I haven't been around for over a month, we're out of funding. Trying to turn things over to another organization to continue with the vision. Feel free to stop by and have a look anytime, the orphanage/school director Jean Marc is always around.

Thanks for the info.Iwill definetly check it out.Sorry for the lack of funding. I had the priviledge to address some comunity leaders today in Grand Goave and was spreading the word about earthbag construction.There was a lot of interest, I think I will try to organize a workshop. I have never put up a complete building but am familiar with the progress. My regular job is doing straw bale construction.Not much straw here but earthbags might be the answer. Any help you could share eg tips,books etc would be appreciated.The organization I am with is called Haiti Arise.My email is 2dranch624@gmail.com

Thanks
