Hey - we have now reached our goal of $1280 some dollars for construction
of the latrine project. I am finishing my time here in the USA and I will
be back in BF on the 15th and back in Dissin on the 16th or 17th. This is
now the rainy and I am hoping that our already dug hole ( see picture- I
think I needed to turn it sideways - sorry)- I thank all of you for
donating to the project and construction should be underway b4 the endof

school start Oct 1 so that should be great- thanks again and I will be
sending updates and pictures in the near future- Matt Courtney
