School Shelter Project - Part 1


We had a busy January with teams coming to help achieve our vision here on the grounds at Coram Deo. The first team that came was led by my cousing Jeff Bultje and Nathan Wiersma. Before their arrival the guys did some ground preparation and moved the sand pile from our last project away from the front wall.


They also used their muscles and rolled these large boulders from the front of the yard to the back section of the yard.


We are trying to maximize the use of the yard. This front yard will support our last school shelter that needs to be built. We got Ysmaille and his workers to weld the shelter supports and frame so that everything would be ready for the team's arrival.


Jeff and Nathan spent the night at the airport and arrived in Port-au-Prince on the first morning flight. We spent the first day buying the wood and tin materials and getting the guys to cement the supports in place.


Jeff made sure that the steel support frames were placed correctly.


It didn't take too long for the supports to be cemented and bolted in place.
