After three months waiting, I finally had the time to visit Manuel, Elena and their three kids. They had been asking for help building a new home as the rain always flows through the home and on sunny days it is an oven. Five family members share one bed in a 12 by 12 shed made of corrugated roofing.

I met Manuel on the trail to his home. He was covered with sweat and returning home after a day’s work. It took only a moment to see that the hard-working father was not the reason for their need and the level of poverty they were living in was palatable.

What a blessing for the ability to say - We can help. The support I have received over the years from so many people is humbling. Thank you. You have help change lives like Manuel, Elena and their family.
it is pouring down rain tonight and I know they are getting wet but... They have a new hope. Thanks

Monday will be the third pour for the retaining walls at the Xesalli school. After the walls are done the forms will be used in building homes.

Between the two retaining walls we will plant a garden. Progress.
Today, I jokingly started to call it the great wall of Beverly. I am excited when we can paint her portrait on it.

Wow! Only three years old and growing like crazy!!
Seeing success like this makes me proud to be a part of our reforestation work. Each of the last three years we have averaged 20,000 seedlings distributed.

First pour! 75 bags of cement unloaded and mixed, 4 truckloads of sand and gravel (200 buckets full) carried to the mixer, countless buckets of water carried from the creek, 125 feet of footings poured and 200 boards unloaded and stacked all in 7 hours by 9 men. Statistics behind hard work and good actions. I am glad the menare here, helping their community, and not in the states.

I think my Mom is smiling down on us today. She left a donation when she passed away and we are starting a school project right next to my house. First we are building two long retaining walls and then we will start landscaping the area. The total project will also have a covered meeting area and two new classrooms.

Took a quick trip over to the village of Cachixla and sold 600 trees in two hours. We sell them 7 for 1 dollar to control the planting. Even though the price is real low people think about how many trees they can really plant. Along the road are trees we distributed three years ago. They are reaching 25 feet tall already.
