Beginnings
Looking at the progress we've made, it's hard not to think back on the conditions from just a few months back. Project is anything but over but we have already made a difference on a number of people's life. Once construction is done, we will need to turn our attention to cots and other necessities but for now, let's look back at where we started:
1. No toilet - just a hole in the ground covered by a small tent and a blanket
2. No running water - water was collected nearby and brought by migrants and refugees by foot
3. Many sleeping outdoors or on the floor
