pictures!

figured it's about time to post some pictures of the goings-on in grand goave. here's a few of the Mission of Hope construction projects that our team has been a part of. great to see the progress! They have also just received a grant that will help fund construction of a new three-story school building on the back half of the church/school/orphanage compound! Construction is scheduled to start May 1, so I anticipate that our next two teams (mid-to-late May) will be helping with that project.

[this is only a few of the many, many pictures that various team members have taken, so check out facebook for more!]
