| Construction Update - March 5th 2009 |
| |
iProjects is pleased to announce that excellent progress is being made on the new girl’s home in Puerto Maldonado, Peru.
Despite heavy rains a work crew of three has been able to clear an area of land large enough for the first phase of the home
to be built.

|
This month will also see the completion of a gravel road into the work site. The next phase of development will be the
construction of a 3 metre square concrete room which will be used to house a commercial generator on the property and for storage
of tools and a cement mixer. The generator is necessary to pump water from the well and to supply power for power tools. There is
currently no power grid in this area of Peru. Money is now being raised to drill the well which will provide the water needed for
construction and also to supply the whole girl’s home complex. The cost of the well and submersible pump is 11,000 Nuevo sols which
equates to approximately $4,400. If you would like to support this project please follow the link
(link to donations page). We
would like to have the well in place before the arrival of a Canadian mission team at the end of April 2009.
