Above are Orquidea, daughter of Rosalva, and her friend Jorquina from next door. After we cleaned out and cleaned up their makeshift storage area (which used to be the bathroom as you can see), I turned around and there was a tea party going on there! :) Below is Orquidea and her grandmother, Magdalena.
This is the last day we were at the house, and you can see all the progress we made. The young boy digging the trench is Eliuth, Rosalva's nephew. He is so strong and industrious and helped us tremendously, without ever being asked! His parents moved to the US and have not returned or stayed in much contact, so he is being raised by the family.
You can see the cement beams that have been poured, and then there is another six layers of brick before the cement ceiling. Then the floor needs to be poured, the doors and windows installed and the electricity. We're told they will be moved in within a month. Yay!
