A Happy Day!

Yesterday We met Andre, the superintendent of the school that needs toilets, at a big building supply store here on the island.  After some heated negotiations in Spanish, Denex (Our friend/translator) explained that the superintendent got the store to lower their price so the water tank and three toilets cost less than $500....



I guess it work, because the bill eventually came to just over 11,000 lmps. or $498 US dollars....


Shelley and I went to the airport and found a cash machine and gave the store the money for the goods....

After about a half hour everything was loaded into Andre's pickup and on its way to the school.  We will make our way to the school again next week to see the installation which is suppose to start n Monday...




We have raised just over 20% of the money needed to cover the cost, so if you feel inclined to help out, just hit the "donation" button on this page or give the money to Right to Write c/o Brenda Auger or Glenda Rose or to our daughter, Kelly and we will see to it that it gets used for this project...

Thank you all!
