"Grab a machete!  Time to mow the lawn."  (Oops---did I forget to mention that the industrial weed-eaters have died?). 

"The barbed wire fence looks great....super work stringing those wires well over three kilometers, guys!"  Now that the border fencing is complete, it's high time to get started on something to utilize our border land, thus giving it legal protection from possible squatter invasion.  Initiating Oil Palm plantations along at least part of the border will begin that process.  We definitely don't want to lose what we have worked so hard to earn. 

"Be careful...don't get the truck stuck in the mud."  Don't worry, we aren't far from home...our driveway is simply a muddy mess desperately needing to be graded and graveled before rainy season arrives in full force. 

This year our volunteer team has grown tremendously.  And of course we also have our local workers and other on-site constructions.  How can we improve safety?  Purchasing and installing fire alarms in the buildings would be a jump start to avoiding tragedy.

"Did you bring your headlamp?  We have to have one for using the microscope if I'm going to be able to examine all these samples for clinic today."  Unfortunately our binocular microscope bulb doesn't work and there are no replacements available.  Not to mention the fact that one microscope is very overworked to keep up with the many lab exam needs each day of clinic.

The leaning tower of Pisa might be a great archetectural achievement, but not on our property between two populated houses....not when it's a red-painted water tower that supplies the water to our project homes!  If the leaning water-tower were to break it would be a disaster.  That's why it's so important that we are able to repair it very very soon...before it does anything crazy.

These are just some of the current needs to be addressed on-site in Peru.  If you're interested in learning more, we invite you to download our attached document of "AMOR Needs."  Finances are tight, and any donations make a big difference.  However, perhaps you don't have financial ability to help right now, but you could present the needs to your church.  Perhaps you can give or share the needs with others.  Perhaps you can make us a prayer project for your personal devotions.  Whatever you can do to get involved, we'd love to have you on our team!

Blessings,
Jenni, Tara, and the AMOR Projects team
