After four days without communication, we finally heard from Andre's family. They are all still doing well and seem optimistic about the potential move to Duval. We asked about if they had taken advantage of any of the aid that was provided, they said after waiting in a very long line, they were given water and cookies. :-) I guess that is better than nothing!
Over the past four days Andre's step-father ventured up to the families land in Duval. He assessed the situation and still wants to build up there, which is really good news.
We have asked Andre's step-father to get us a quoted price for the materials needed to build a foundation in Duval. This will help us aim for our first major logistics milestone. :-) Once we have the price we can negotiate it down (hopefully) and have materials delivered.
Andre and Chelsea also wired some more money to the family today. We all have our fingers crossed that they can receive it as smoothly as last time. Some of the money came from a local donor and we really appreciate it!!!!
