Just a short note - last week we had an inspection of the security upgrades at our Christian School. We've been doing security upgrades under a US Embassy re-imburseable program. Ann and I had prepared the bid package for this last year and the proposal was approved while we were back in the States at the OMS conference. I felt bad because although I had done the pre-work, cost-estimates, etc., I dumped the actual work on another missionary as we were Stateside when all of this needed to be started.
The work has gone very well and the Embassy personnel were very pleased with how far we had stretched the dollars and with the quality of the work (our friend Belarmino did most of the work). The Embassy folks had a few additional things they thought we should do since we are a tad under budget, but those are small things that should be completed in the next week or two. The changes aren't real obvious but they are important - a film on the windows to prevent glass from flying around in the event of an explosion near the school, an improved fence that is more difficult to cross, video cameras to monitor the perimeter, improved locks and gates, an intercom system, and immediate communication with the Embassy. Good things that we praise God we were able to take advantage of for the benefit of our students and staff.
This picture is during the inspection in the parking area / basketball area adjacent to the building.
Blessings this day.
Dave & Ann
