Nice night shot of Joe welding.


A really exciting picture here....um well perhaps not but Joe and Micah worked hard to get this compressor installed and working at the Technical school in the city. This is a school that has been built by Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada and Assemblies of God in the U.S. It is a technical highschool with a strong Christian emphasis. Here in Guatemala , highschool students start their technical training while still in highschool.
The compressor is for the engine rebuilding shop and the dental lab.


In this photo Joe is in a very remote area of Quiche working for Greg, who has started many projects to help the people in his area who were basically "exiled" to that area because they were guerrillas in the civil war. He has a school and various programs to help the people become economically stable. Greg and his wife and two daughters live out their Christian walk in front of the people of this very remote area where there is no electricity, and only recently reliable phone service, and has only recently made accessible by 4-wheel drive deisel truck with a snorkel on the engine so it can cross the river (before that you could make the last part of the trip by burro) . Joe is installing solar electric panels for the school that Greg has founded there for the children of the area.


Here is Joe working on the solar panels that will give Greg's school electricity. In the right picture you see Greg doing some clean up with Gigi his daughter helping.


Yay! the finished project....Power!
