Water - Truck - Trailer

Volunteers saw the property at the highest water level yet; however, this did not stop the efforts to continue to fill the property.  The tide has finally gone down.  Although this helps our efforts with the property it quickly exhausts our efforts on the neighboring beaches for sea grass. 

Unfortuately, the San Pedro Town Truck that was promised to us was not available again this weekend for sea grass, therefore we are behind schedule at this point with our current plans. 

This week we were given an old trailer/cart by a local resort.  The cart itself is in need of repair however many things that the US would discard can be used in Belize.  By next week sometime we should be able to get the cart fixed and have it moving down the road to haul materials (and especially sea grass at this time).

Volunteers Arrive in the Rain

Volunteers arrived today during a rainy day in San Pedro.  They were escorted from the Belize International Airport to San Pedro by LTA President then greeted by staff after arriving in San Pedro.  They were advised ahead of time to bring rain gear since it has been raining on and off the past week (being rainy season) therefore they were prepared. 

We are all calling it an early night for a good night sleep so we will be refreshed for the morning work.

We are thankful they are here to help see the vision become a reality.

Clearing Complete

Yesterday the process for clearing the three acres of property was completed.  Once again this allows us to see the high and low spots on the property as well as plan for building.  We can now see the first acre to the last acre by the stakes that were placed for the survey.  (Due to the plant life and mangroves we were not able to see the property line without walking the entire length of the property).  We now have a great visual of the entire three acres.
