Progress on the Clinic

Two teams from Colorado Community Church and a team from Samaritan's Purse Canada collaborated with local workers to help make huge advances in the work on the clinic from March 23 - April 3.  The volunteers did everything from carrying supplies to the site, hauling bags of sand and rock from the river, setting columns, pouring cement, and digging trenches.  Lots of hard work and sweating in the sun (temps in the upper 80s, plus humidity) made for tired laborers at the end of the day!
