El Aulo, Nicaragua is underway and ahead of schedule. The community
is pulling together nicely in fulfillment of their responsibility to
donate manual labor to the project. The excavation is complete and
the foundation was finished a couple weeks ago. By now the walls are
up and work is beginning on preparing for the roof to go on. The
photo here shows two walls up to the first mid point. The windows
will go up on this level of the blocks. We are perhaps a third of the
way done with the construction and at this pace we should be done by
early May.
In the pictures you can see the school underway and the two concrete
block walls in place. The other photos shows the existing school that
is being replaced. Made of bamboo and palm fronds, the structure has
a mud floor, leaks profusely, and doesn´t provide any security,
protection from the elements.

Hi El Aulo Crew! Am thinking of y'all this week, as music thrives in the background and the school gets built in the foreground! I hope that Jiliana had an uneventful trip to Managua and event-filled days ever since arriving.
I will browse the Annual Sheridan Home Show today to look at the ubquitious surface treatments that we attach to our structures here in the LosEstadosUnidos. Thank you for building buidings that matter and that enhance communities!!!
Looking forward to the Project Schoolhouse fundraiser on April 5!! Am glad to report that there will be a new crop of women who can dance the cha-cha-cha, and maybe even the salsa (we still have a month to learn it!) Can't wait to hear the music live!
Cheers to the whole crew!
