flo, why don't you go and ask he organizers, instead of continuing to make comments here. We would all like to know, but real information is way better than these kinds of comments.

As I posted on the other thread, the next step is the forresta department needs to cut some trees and haul the debris away. They seem to be waiting for after the elections.

The equipment was moved to Maranatha for some "emergency" (read politically motivated) work and will return after the election as well.

All the money is in the bank that has been collected. It is not being used for anything else, and, can't be without signature of 3 people on a check, one of them being Craig Selig, from the Internationasl School. I know he hasn't signed any checks.

The whole process is taking more time than I expected and I am disappointed, but I still have faith that the road will be completed. This election thing is amazing as to how all agencies of the government just seem to stop working unless what they are doing will garner votes. We all know that not many votes come from La Mulata, so we are at the bottom of the list until the election is over and the dancing in the streets is done.

I hope to have more information by the middle of next week. The wheels of progress turn slowly in this country, but they do turn.

thanks for the update, and as the situation looked, the garbage was left right at the entrance of la mulata, causing a mayor danger to anyone, entering or leaving the project, it just looked as everyone left in a hurry.

again, thanks for the confirmation, and lets hope everything will work out fine

im not spreading any rumors, im just telling the facts as they are, and asking the questions that everyone wants to know, im sorry for being too direct and going right to the point, as i see campesina understood properly and got back with an acceptable response, which is what many have been waiting for

The latest news is that the contract has finally been agreed upon and signed, in Guido Perdomo's office, by Vladimir, yesterday. I have photos of the glorious event . We are told they will begin, again, next week. Payments are still coming in, but if you haven't paid, please consider doing so, now. Thank you!
