Remember the ferro-cement roof trial we did on my back porch? We made some adjustments (learned from our mistakes) and are now doing the roof for the high school's WC in the new and improved way. We save on iron and cement and the roof will last a lot longer than a metal one. It is only one and a quarter inches thick whereas a normal poured cement roof is about six inches.
This is one way of keeping up with what's happening in southern Haiti. Please consider helping us in our work with Haitian orphans and vulnerable children. Contributions can be sent to: Free The Kids, 2303 W. Market Street, Greensboro, NC 27403-1517. Or you can make a secure donation with a credit card at our website www.freethekids.org. Thank you for helping us fight poverty in Haiti, one child at a time.
