Land site, progress
Monday, March 15th, 2010New pictures of the land!
Monday, September 22nd, 2008Clinica Verde project manager Johny Siman just sent new pictures of the land since it’s been cleared. It’s a great site, ideally located on a major transportation route just outside the city of Boaco and about 2 kilometers from the new hospital built by the Japanese government.
Unfortunately, he broke his finger in the process of taking these shots!
A big step forward
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008
Last Tuesday, Aug. 19, Boaco Mayor Vivian Orozco signed the papers that finalized the donation of 1 manzana (1.75 acres) of land for Clínica Verde. Mayor Orozco offered the donation last October at our annual meeting of the board in Nicaragua, and we had been persistently navigating the challenge of obtaining title since then, so this was a day of celebration. We had a board meeting in California that night, and toasted this big step forward.
By Wednesday morning, our project manager in Nicaragua Johny Siman had already contacted engineers to do soil and water absorption tests and met with a local architect. We have a great team working on this, and are ready to get down to work!
We’re so grateful to Mayor Orozco for his generous donation and for supporting our efforts to bring a sustainable health clinic to families in need to this region of the country.
