Memorial All-Purpose Building Project

aka...Home of P.E.T. MEXICO-REYNOSA

The project began with the Summer Mission groups of East Main, Fairfield and Millageville Presbyterian

Churches from PA in 2006.

Caliche was hauled in little by little.  Jorge finished laying the foundation after the groups left.

Then, in March 2008, a group from a Baptist Church in Sunnyview, a suburb of Dallas, TX moved the mountain

of caliche and stomped it down tight. 

High winds helped some, but for the most part, these youth did the work.

At the end of the day all was flat and ready to be formed up for cement.  Jorge spent the next day putting

the wood frames around the foundation and getting things ready for the cement. 

The next day, a youth group from Benbrook, TX came in and mixed and poured the cement platform. 

"Line up and rev your engines."  The cement mixer kept 4 wheelbarrows busy.

Kids from Big Heart Children's Home helped the group as well.

A cement truck knew we were pouring cement so he came by to see if we would buy his last 1/2 meter for $20.00.

We did-which gave our sand and gravel people a short break but not our wheelbarrow guys.

Thank you, Big Heart, Sunnyview and Benbrook Baptist!

Pastor Salvador puts the finishing touches on the floor.  Now we are ready for the next stage as time and money permit.
