I have been selected to serve on a project trip to North Africa, the project leaves in less than one month. The goal is to design a 13-story school for handicapped people that will include a school, nursery, vocational center, medical clinic, and guest housing. The ministry currently houses 220 students and 60 staff.
I'm really excited about this project assignment because I will be able to get back to America with plenty of time to see the birth of our son, and the project will have plenty of water / wastewater design applications. The prospect of working on a project like this was a large factor in our decision to extend our time with Engineering Ministries International.
I could continue to jargon about this project, but the truth is I don't know much about it yet. So I will send out another email with more details as they become available to me.
Steph and I are currently saying goodbye to Texas, visiting various friends and family members before we move to Colorado on August 17. My first task with eMi will be to act as golf caddy for my father in law as he plays golf for the annual fundraiser. People sponsor him on a per-hole basis ($1 per hole, $2 per hole, ect…) so his goal is to play 100 holes of golf in 12 hours. I think he can do it, I know I couldn’t. That’s why I am just a caddy.
We’ll be in Texas a little longer, so if any of you guys want to hang out with us, shoot us an email and we can make plans. |
