Ramp to "loza" level and retaining wall

This will be a ramp leading up to the second level over the OR area. Plans for this upper level are threefold at this point.
1. It will be a storage area for medical equipment or furniture that is not being used,
2. provide space for three tanks of hot water that come from three solar panels and provide hot water for three or four main areas, and 3. provide men's and women's areas to sleep when short-term teams come.
To the right of the ramp will be a transparently covered patio for the laundry. It can be hard to dry cloths in rainy season.

Bethel Hospital Construction from back-Dec 2008

The section to the right will be the OR, patient rooms, cafeteria and kitchen, sterilization and storage . Part of this section will have a second story and a separate roof (loza). All efforts at present are concentrated in the Loza. The building in the foreground (tin roof) is our "little hospital" while the interior of the rest gets finished. Pray that we can find needed Electrical and Plumbing advice.

My SS kids in Amachuma-day B4 I left for US

When much of their life is exposure to the darker side of abuse, drunkenness, corruption, hunger, TV, poverty, fear, and animistic beliefs - an hour and a half on Sunday morning seems so little time to draw the curtain and show them ONE who has created the natural beauty around them and who has paid the ultimate price to love and forgive them. Pray for the 8 who have chosen to follow HIM this past year.

HS girls in Amachuma-from Wed. night B.S.

Before I came to US in Dec., these girls brought food and cooked a farewell meal. Most graduated from H.S. in mid December. Pray for them as they face future decisions and often have to choose between honoring culture and custom, honoring family, and honoring God.
