Dear Fr. Peter Daly,

Thanks so much for the check you sent. I have not seen it, but the church secretary called yesterday to let me know it had arrived. Carol Berman, our treasurer, has told me she will wire the money to Limay later this week.

In the meantime, today I received some photos via email from Leonardo Silva, who travels to Esteli every so often to send us messages. The photos are attached. I think you’ll agree that these families badly need houses! Leonardo sent brief descriptions of each house; I have told you every bit of information he transmitted about each one. He also said the committee has a completed form on each family, but I do not yet have this information.

As I think I explained to you on the phone, they will not begin building the houses until the rains stop sometime in November. They they expect to complete all 5 houses within two months.

House 1
This house, which has plastic walls and a tin roof, belongs to Gloria Amparo. It is located in the central town of San Juan de Limay.

House 2
This house, with plastic walls and roof, belongs to Marcelino Ruiz. It is located in the village of Rio Abajo (also called El Calero), about a mile from the central town of Limay.

House 3
This house has sides made of sticks, with a tile roof. It belongs to Florentina Cruz.

House 4
This house is primarily of earth, augmented by tin. It belongs to Mary Luz Sanchez and is located in the central town of Limay.

House 5
This house belongs to Prudencio Meneses. It appears to have no sides (or maybe one side) and a tin roof.

Thanks again, and we’ll stay in touch.
