Building Progress One Brick at a Time

The Starfish Outreach team is preparing to visit Dangriga in February to check on the progress of the preschool build. With the school set to open this September, there are still hundreds of things to do and thousands of dollars to raise to ensure the incoming students have everything they need for a successful school year.

Santiago (lovingly known as Bob) has been working hard with his crew, continuing the build throughout the year, and the progress looks outstanding. The first floor, housing the preschool, is coming along, with cabinets, water fixtures, kitchen appliances, and other classroom necessities being added as additional donations allow. The second floor will serve as a community learning center and a housing venue for visiting clinics and outreach teams and should be completed by 2025. The exterior of the building is so close to completion that the team is ready to begin construction on the roof— the last significant portion of the structure. The crew will continue working on the building in the coming months and keep us on track for the grand opening of the first floor in September.

We are excited to visit Santiago and the Dangriga building team in February and assist with the final details to get the preschool ready for September. Your continued prayer and financial support continue to fund the completion of the preschool and community center. While we have made leaps of progress, more is still needed.
