The progress has been nonstop at the REVOLUTION site just west of the Solid Rock International Guesthouse and current clinic building! Reaching the construction site is just a quick drive in the back of a pickup truck down the main road out of town. SRI teams have been making this trip daily to assist with the building of the security wall while professionals tackle the main facility.

With some rainfall earlier this month, things look a bit wet, but the work continues on! “We have started the process of filling and then compacting the platea. This will be a tedious phase and require a lot of manual labor and shovel work. Each room will need to be filled and then compacted 3 times in order to properly compact the fill because this is what the floor slab will eventually rest on,” shared Project Construction Manager, Ken Potter, in his most recent blog.
