As we finish up the last of the 3,450 temporary homes being built with funds
from the Japanese government, we have been invited to submit over one million
dollars of proposals for additional temporary housing as well as for permanent
housing. With three large proposals in process our small staff has had its
hands full in both doing the research on low cost permanent housing as well as
dealing with the bureaucratic details of major proposal submissions. Our new
volunteer Wimke arrived from Holland and immediately headed off to Chincha to be
part of the team there. In addition there are plans afoot to hold a training
school next month to prepare additonal people to join our staff and support the
work in Chincha for the next few years.
