Getting ready for the rains

Submitted by admin on Fri, 05/22/2009 - 11:51
May is usually the month in which the first part of Nicaragua's rainy season begins. So we try and get any construction work or remodelling of the main project site completed before the end of the month. Thanks to help from the Central American Fund for Human Development we have been able to construct a new building to house the bakery project. We have also been able to allocate resources to building about 30 metres of brick wall to help protect parts of the site vulnerable to the flooding that we have experienced over the last two years. Also this month we are happy to include Sandra Lopez as part of the administrative staff helping us get the best value we can from the donations we receive from the supporters of the various commuinty projects. sandra
