Project Bona Fide Update

Greetings all,

We want to welcome Eira and Tom from the United Kingdom to our staff. They will be here for 6-12 months depending on whether we can keep them well entertained.

Tom will be picking up a building project that was started in February. We are going to be harvesting wood for posts and beams for a neem wood structure with a full bamboo and grass roof. The structure is circular and will serve as staff housing.

Eira is delving right into community center work, coordinating some of the harvest from the farm so it finds its way to the table at our children's nutrition program.

Heather and Rachel have finished the 6 sets of book shelves and I go to Managua tomorrow to hopefully after (4) trips LIBERATE 1800 used books from Spain to get our library on line.

Farm is looking great, guanabana fruit is getting close as are sugar apples, we are just setting up to plant the last few hundred trees.

The garden will be partially replanted this coming week as well and we plan a general community center clean up with members of the community.

My (Chris) house is on its way and the DOME is up. Many great things happening.
