Elves On The Roof

by Calvin Sun | Dec 29, 2010 | December 2010: A Clinic in Mexico, Mexico, One Small House

First Wall Up!

First Wall Up!

by Calvin Sun | Dec 27, 2010 | December 2010: A Clinic in Mexico, Mexico, One Small House

The first wall has just been put up! By the time you read this, the base wall should also have been put up by now. Everything’s on the webcam to the right! We also took a walk to the old clinic, which was a depressing site seeing that it was a run-down trailer...
