this is why

Sometimes when you're asked to move 100s of wheelbarrows of dirt from one spot to the next, or even better, asked to spend the entire morning doing the same, but with mud, you ask yourself, ''Why am I doing this??'' It is always exciting when I revisit a community and see that indeed, all that cement mixing and nail hammering that so many of you have helped with has paid off.

community cooperative in La Linea, not quite finished but looking great after the Rockway group helped start the project in March



making progress on the mud pit, soon to be trout pond in La Vega del Volcan, that the group from SU had fun working on in April


the up and running cooperative in La Vega that Enlace 2008 started on



also in La Vega, the beginnings of their tourist cabin, thanks to RJC and Saskatchewan University groups from this year



preschool project that the RJC group from 2009 and 2010 both helped work on in Carranza
