We broke ground on Monday, September 13th, 2010. The fencing contractor has been hired and the fence is currently going up! Here's a picture of Pastor Noel, the secretary of our local board and I doing the official ground breaking (It's a good thing I'm not actually part of the construction crew... It took me way to long to dig a scoop of dirt!)
Here's a picture of the whole crew in attendance. It includes our contractor, architect, government engineers, government officials, and IJM staff.
Pastor Noel gave a short service and we Thanked God for the provision of this land and everything it will be used for. Then we had a gigantic meal complete with Lechon (a roasted pig).
It was the perfect way to begin our mission!
I would have thought digging dirt with a shovel is easier than chopping wood with an ax! ;)
