The Village rises. Dwayne A. Jones arrived from Memphis, TN over the weekend with 2 truckloads of workers and a trailer. I parked the micro home on site and the work began. To the moment, got three more houses framed, wired, and ready for roofing and insulation.
I know we had many offers to volunteer, but in order to get this vision realized, we stuck with the original plan--we raise the funds and let the builders build. That's how you build a village. I just wanted to share some pics so you can see what your support IS building.
We will dedicate this building this Friday at 12 noon. I will be sending an invite to those of you who may be in the city who have donated to the cause to be a part of that historic moment, so mark your calendar.
