As I type this we're making a few last adjustments to the box, and getting all of our stuff ready to go. Over the weekend we worked almost non-stop on the box - getting the wood, cutting it to size, nailing it all together, and a bunch of other things. We encountered quite a few problems along the way, but we've been able to get past all of them so far.
At Aloisio's wood shop. I really don't know what we would have done without his help.

Last night we went to Expo Acre, a huge fair in Rio Branco. We saw a rodeo and met up with Geazi and his girlfriend (Bebel). They asked "Where's Marc?" and Marina said to say that they wished him congratulations on getting engaged!
Clara, Marina says that Vera is very happy with the toothbrushes and the toys and she knows that it's because of you. Each child in three schools will receive a bag with pencils, a folder, a toothbrush, and a toy.
Here are some more pictures so that you can see what we've been up to:

Finding an expert local craftsman is such a bonus! Great job. It is great to see everyone in action, building the box etc. Johnny, I hope you'll make sure you are on the the other end of the lens a few times so there is some pictorial documentation of your presence :-)
