We are excited to announce the official start of the sports and recreation area! A neighboring farmer supplied the use of this tractor attachment and Mike was able to take the first layer of topsoil away this past weekend. Then, it was up to the rest of us to remove the rocks and level the area. Our original plan was to create a court that could be adapted to play basketball, volleyball, futsal, handball, tennis and hockey. We were blessed to receive additional funding that allows us to put in a sand volleyball court! We will now be able to play soccer, basketball, and volleyball simultaneously. (The kids are starting rumors that we are going to be charging visitors to play!) It has been exciting to see everyone working together to make this happen. The kids are overwhelmed by your generosity and can't believe that people they don't even know have given so much money to make this a reality. We will be travelling this weekend to Paraguay to shop…pray that we find some good deals on equipment!
