Activity Center Built by Work Team

February 2nd, 2010

We had a wonderful week with a work team from Francesville, our home church. They worked hard for 5 days and were able to finish the activity center building and the security fence. The children love the new court and roof!

Aaron Runs Away, and Pouring Concrete

December 6th, 2009

The bad news is Aaron ran away. It is one of those things that doesn’t make any sense. He seemed to be fairly content and improving, but he also was a difficult child and didn’t think right sometimes. I guess who of us can say he always thinks right? But Aaron’s grave error makes us all sad.

We went looking for him. The gas station attendant had seen him, but we never found him. We don’t know where he is. The only family of his we know is a brother, whom we contacted, but Aaron is not there. So we pray that he will be OK wherever his is.

The good news is the progress on the basketball court. Several volunteers came to help pour the concrete and 1/4th of the court is now poured, thank the Lord! Here are some pictures…

Work begins on the multi-purpose building

Materials are staged for the tin roof

Thanks to God first and also a generous donation from a close friend of Casa Timoteo, we have purchased most of the materials that will be needed to build the metal roof structure over the court.

Also, we are welding together a swing set for the children to play on

It doesn’t look like much, but that metal tube is well drilling pipe. It is special steel that is very hard and strong. You can’t even drill into it. The used price was still over $2 a foot! But it was what a friend of ours recommended because it should last forever, well longer than any of us will anyway!

Visiting the school classroom

November 3rd, 2009

Here is what it is like in our one-room school. Claudia is doing a fantastic job teaching all 6 grades. The children are very happy in the new school. We currently have another teacher in training so that Claudia will have some help.

Looking to the future…

Here is a drawing of the proposed Activity Center, a covered court which measures about 40′ x 75′ for playing basketball, rapid soccer, or volleyball, plus an area along side to be used for other play activities.
