Dear Friends,
Praise the Lord! Just as the rains are to begin falling on Haiti, the GNIF crew has accomplished our goal this season! Thanks to all the volunteers; the contributors, the workers, and of course, for all of the prayers! To all of the volunteers that were on the list to go, but didnt get the opportunity, we sincerely hope you will stay with us for the project continuation in early 2011.
Here is a little update from Kevin Bronson a few days ago of the Lastic Canyon project work that is wrapping up for this year. "The penstock is completed as far as we can go this round, and the thrust block is poured. Left for tomorrow is an anti-climb fence to keep the little tykes from climbing up and falling off over the cliff. We blasted our 2nd and last shot. There was a little fly rock, but not more than Loren expected and warned us about. This shot moved a lot of rock. Bruce worked about 4 hours digging it out to grade, and has about a day's worth of digging left."
It was kind of a bittersweet day as they packed everything up at the canyon and prepared it for next year. A lot had happened...a lot of "where do we go from here?" scenarios, and now to have our revised goal accomplished......its really nothing short of amazing!
Most of the crew is flying out Monday, the 8th. Kevin flys out Friday, the 12th; Larry and Darrell have tickets to fly the 16th, but hope they can change their tickets to the 12th also.
