Project Update

For all our followers, we just wanted to give you a peak into our project. Although we are not going to post a video of the work until it is totally complete, we wanted to post a few stills of the construction that is going on at the Recycling School. These photos depict the first phase in our efforts to revamp the school, which include clearing out the school, chipping the paint of the brick walls, and applying a cement coat. This process is part of the larger picture of our project, which is to provide a facility that further enables the success of the work they are doing at the Recycling School.

We have been working hard alongside the contracted labor and have been involved in all negotiations (which is truly saying something for how Egyptians bargain)! Also, we have been shopping around to get everything else the school needs. An important aspect of all the work we have done thus far is that we are using the Davis Grant money to purchase all labor and materials in the community. This provides the benefit of pumping more money into the local economy and employing the hard working people of Garbage city. All of these things will be included in a later video, but for now, you will have to trust us that things are looking great.
