Hosanna House--Belize

Above Doug, Wayne, Tony and Charlie are working on forms for a sidewalk, well Tony and Charlie are mostly watching. Today we finished moving dirt that was needed around the volley ball court and tried to help with pouring concrete. A local concrete man, Tony, brought four guys to work so there was not a lot we could do. The school bus stop shelter footers and the sidewalk were poured today.


Royce made some more wood shelves.

In the early afternoon a few of us took 14 of the children down to the river to swim. As I was walking to the river a bunch of sirens started coming up the road. I mentioned that it was the first time I ever heard sirens in this country, at least out where Hosanna House is located. First an ambulance drove by. It was followed by a truck with a large movie type camera apparently taping a bunch of bicyclists behind them. They were all participating in a race. You will be happy to know that at the 20.5 mile marker, the 2 USA guys were not in first but not far behind.

This is Bettys report:
Woke up to lots of puddles from the rain last night and as we had breakfast -- more rain.
Some of the men decided they were going to clip the roosters wings as he was attacking the kids. He is now grounded!!!
We took the kids to the river to swim this afternoon and the water was cool but very refreshing.
In the evening, about 9:30, the neighbor lady came knocking at the door. Her young child had swollowed a coin and she complained of her chest hurting. So Bob took them to town to the hospital where she was admitted and they said she might have to be operated on.
