Three years ago Damian obtained part of this parcel to start a mission and feeding program. He with the help of members of one of his missions cleared part of the highway frontage of the land and built what he calls a small Chocita. This is where he has been having Bible Studies and services for some of the people living near this property.
At the top of this column you will find a slide show of Una Esperanza Huatulco of the present use of the property. Since I was last there in June a few more lean-to houses have been built.
There is about 17 acres of land, not all usable but part of the package. The owner has agreed to sell us all of the property for $300,000 pesos. As of August 3 we owe about 220,000 pesos or about $18,000 dollars to pay it off. (the exchange varies a lot day to day)
Pastor Damian has cleared a small portion of the land to grow corn. They just planted the seed.
We will be using the land for temporary housing for the families who need a place to stay. Some of the land we will use for agriculture and animal husbandry. We hope to build right away a multipurpose building where we can feed the people and have Bible Clubs and church.
On the roadside we want to have a storefront where people can stop for sodas and junk food (this is on the main tourist highway). Also we will have a taco stand that a brother in Napa California, Patrick gave money for and he will come in November to teach Hernan how to make his specialty Baha tacos like in his Napa restaurant.
Then we would like a small clinic to serve the health needs, and later a school since most of the children do not attend a school.
