During these past two weeks we saw great progress on our water and waste situation. The walls of the septic tank were completed, after which the inside walls were sealed:

Then, the roof was framed and poured:

In addition, the hole was dug for our 4-room patient latrine. After reaching a depth of 10 feet, a rock wall will be constructed to keep the walls from collapsing, after which it will be dug another 10 feet.

The site for building a water reservoir on the top of the hill above the clinic was also staked out this week. A small foundation is being dug for that, after which walls and columns will be built.
Meanwhile, all the final stucco work on the inside of the pharmacy building was completed and the porch outside is now being worked on.

Thanks to your faithful prayers we are making great progress with our construction!
