Today marked the one month point of my time in Bolivia, and 2 weeks on the ground full time in Villa Montes. But unfortunately my body "celebrated" by coming down with the flu. So I am writing this from my bed, drinking the Bolivian equivalent of Theraflu (which is as disgusting as it's American counterpart). I am hoping to post this in the next day or so when I am up again.
The good news is that yesterday we had a great working day with the families to prep for the next batch of houses we are working on this week. We cleared land to deliver materials, and picked up the rebar for 3 houses. Oscar, amazingly, also signed 2 additional albañiles.
So that brings the total of homes we will have underway this week to 10!! Our first goal.
The other exciting news is that we hit the $40K donation mark!
So despite being a bit under the weather, lots to be excited about here. More soon, plus pictures from the family working day once I am back up and running.
Saludos,
