Updated pics as of the end of February!

Mixing cement at the worksite

First day at the site
Construction started on Thursday, February 20 and the following Sunday (the 23rd), the beneficiaries were gathered together, along with some neighbors, for a Bible study/ church service. Pastor Jerry, one of the pastors of TBC (where I used to work at), led the gathering. A morning devotion is also held every day at the site.


Construction site

Layout for the first house to be constructed

This pile of rubble is the leftover of a home for a family about to receive a new home through Project Yolanda!

After 2 days of negotiating and working on the transactions involving the building materials, Herms was finally able to have them delivered to the construction site. We thank God for enabling him to be able to do it all so quickly, as for many others it would take a week or more to buy building materials in Tacloban.

The team of carpenters from Guihulngan (with Herms) about to head to Tacloban to start work!
