We have made a great deal of progress at the shantytown. Thanks to ten (10!) volunteers from University of Miami who stayed several hours on Saturday and three who drove down from University of Florida in Gainesville (!) for the entire weekend, we were able to build out and clean up quite a bit.
As it stands, we have 12 shanties built, for a total of 23 living units, and one shanty still under construction. We also have three tents.
We have been quoting 9 - 15 residents staying per night, however, over the past four nights, we have not had less than 13 residents, and we may have risen above 15 last night, so we have to rethink our numbers.
In addition, we are almost done with our shower, the kitchen is fully functional and we have a full purpose storage room.
Thank everyone for the gifts of money, time and goods. Keep it coming because more people need shelter and food.
More pictures are coming soon!
