Progress on the School is sporatic at times but this is Haiti and plans do not go as required . The roof will be poured tomorrow. That was the plan 10 minutes ago. Church is at 7:00am to enable us to get started on the pour. Everyone is working hard and are very tired, it is pretty quiet around here by 9:00pm with mostly everyone in bed.
We can not get supplies because there is no gas in the country and may not be any before next week. Jacques has been going every day on the tap tap/ moto to get bread, drinks.etc. Martha took a tap tap to St. Marc today to get chicken, ground beef,etc. That is a long trip on a tap tap.
Karen and I walked to a hardware store(not quite like Home Hardware) to buy hinges. hasps and paint. The paint weighed 200 pounds by the time we got back. The cupboards down at Luckners are finished and the closet is painted and ready to go down if we can get gas for the borrowed truck. Pal has been sick with a bad infection on his flank and has been on a 6" chain so he does not get into it. The Vet was here today and said he could roam within the compound but not go in the canal. He is pretty happy. I take him for a walk 3 times a day to give him some exercise. Thursday we were walking across the bridge and he peed on a ladies big bag. Although I did not know what she said it probably was not good. Alex was over at the school all morning watching the men work and playing with his trucks and a hammer. We only have a 1/3 drum of diesel left for the generator, thankfully Haitian power has been on a lot so that helps. When we get gas we can then go for fuel for the generator. This is a great place to be and I am sad that we only have 3 more sleeps.

Hey Dad,
Great post today. Thanks for sharing.
Ran errands this morning and am doing some cooking and prep work now so I can eat this week. We are off site in meetings 4 days so it means later nights.
Hi to all for me!
