We began construction today, Saturday, on the Porvenir Community Center that we have been expecting to have as our project for our time in Chincha. We aren't beginning this project, but continuing the work on it and hoping to have it near usable by the time we depart in a week. Previously, the building has been completely framed in: with a roof, exterior sheet-rock, electrical conduit mostly run, and over half sheet-rocked on the ceiling. So, the basics are for sure there. Now, onto more interior work.
We won't be working on Sunday at the community center, but will be back Monday through Friday to keep making progress.
The planned agenda for Sunday:
Morning: Visit the market where most locals would shop.
Mid-morning: Check out the ocean (just a few kilometers from where we are staying)
Afternoon: Back to the Provenir community (where the building is) to distribute invitations to a medical campaign here that happens in a little over a week.
Late-afternoon: Church from 5 to 7ish.
Hopefully, we'll be posting pictures soon!
