A Work in Progress!

We are settled back in the Philippines after a nice long vacation in states. We had a few weeks before school started so we went to the Hospital to check on the progress. It is coming right along. I have lots of fun reminiscing about the project in Niger and the first days of being there. This building is quite different but the cement smells the same and the feelings of great expectations are all the same too! The the grittiness if some wonderful and new being constructed. Can’t explain how excited I get when I enter t his place, already!!! Hope you enjoy these pictures, feel free to ask questions. As you will see the rooms are labels but there are no windows or doors. The kids were a little freaked out getting too close to wide open spaces….it is a 5 story building after all!

The lobby is looking quite inviting! Maybe it I am biased by the sweet inviting faces?

Some views from the inside looking out. See the rooms are tagged with their number and purpose? Exam rooms, radiology, nurses station, wards, play area, lab….and the list goes on throughout the building.  So exciting!

This big room will be used for training and larger group gatherings…chapel? This is quite a larger “open space” Drew took care not to get too close. Ha!

The sloped entrance at the rear of the building….pretty steep!

Operating block…little dusty. We traded the red sandy dust of the Sahara for the dark volcanic dust of the Philippines….

Lots of butterflies looking at these pictures, whether it is seeing my kids close to large openings in  the side of the building or navigating the sloped walkway instead of stairs or the thoughts of all that will go on here when we open! Lots of people to meet……I am beyond excited! I am watching a dream come true with my eyes wide open. Stay tuned. There are many wonderful things to come!!
