Greetings all!
After many trials, including Terri & Michael´s plane being diverted to San Pedro Sulu, today,with much assistance from God (usually the case), accomplished our first install.

This is our team after a great day today at (pronounced wa-he-ne-kil) Guajiniquil. The student in the middle presented us with a gift (on table) from the community. The teacher (to right of student) told us...and the students confirmed...they have been praying for this system since the teacher filled out an application with the Healthy Schools Program a year ago. It was hard to keep from crying...especially since the equipment for this school is still stuck in customs.


When confronted with the customs problem just before the beginning of the June 1 team´s trip (last week) I committed to doing whatever necessary to keep the installs going. We purchased batteries here in Honduras last week & also bought six solar panels Saturday for the first two schools this week.


Please keep praying for the shipment. If we get it out of customs tomorrow or today (unlikely) we will not have to purchase two more batteries and two more solar panels for the thid school.


The team is great and set anouther record (2:34) for fastest install (from arrival to successful testing). This record came about due to good prework of predrilling the rails (Bart & Michael) & assembling the control panel (Terri & Allen). The fiesta team (Rachael, Gaby, Elie, Gabriela) also did a great job. We had plenty of school supplies due to Michaels recruiting of supplies in CA and left over stufff from June I.


The jungle team (in the Patuca region) left Saturday and is out of comunication range until Thursday. Please pray for their safety & success.


BLessings to all!
