September 2012 update
Subject: CAM School progress report
HOLA JOHN Just arrived back from the frozen north. I took these pictures this morning, and as you can see, things are progressing well. To perhaps explain in a little more detail, I will try to give you a complete rundown on what has happened so far: As you can see from the first picture, the banos is complete as far as the structure is concerned. The building still needs some finishing and the fixtures are to be installed as yet. The second picture show the sidewalk area not completed previously now being completed between the existing palapa and the new one. The third picture shows the Palapa and surrounding area being completed. We have had them fill in the entire length of the concrete area to make it more consistent and accessible. The fourth picture shows the Hydro-therapy pool nearing construction completion. The sixth picture shows the area that will be put in grass to make it more comfortable for the children and pretty the place up a bit. I’ll explain re the changes and additions in a minute. And the final picture shows the portion of the fence that will be replaced. Now to explain the changes and improvements from the original proposal: Our President was able to negotiate some saving with the Mexican contractor, and to do a little gentle arm twisting to get him to donate his time and expenses for the portion of the work that would have cost more than our original dollar allocations. All in all, it worked out very well: the contractor is happy and so are we. The children will be especially happy. I hope this gives you a good overview of what is happening. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact myself.
