Things are going quite well at the shop. The carpenters are busy filling a few additional orders for our shipment to the States, they are also working on a few local orders. They have so much work they are sub-contracting another carpenter, Gerver, to come in and help them with local orders. Gerver is also a member of the local church-plant, Cristo Rey. There is also another carpenter, Kelvin, who is a member at a sister church in Arevalo and hasbeen renting shop space to work on one of his jobs. Our tools and Javier and Norvil's shop are turning out to be a blessing to others. It is feeling like a busy shop with so many people around. We actually took Saturday off to go to the beach and relax a little before the summer ends. They have been working so hard they have not taken any time off the whole summer.
We are also in the process of looking into a kiln to be able to properly dry wood for exporting indoor furniture. This is a big step of growth for our shop. We are very excited for this opportunity and thankful for the investor who is interested in helping this project grow.
