Hopefully you have been able to follow our progress over the past year and if not, take a few minutes to look through the pictures and re-live the process. I would like to say a special thank you to those who have given financially. Yabus has already changed as EVERY day people bring their produce to market, children go to school, and the clinic sees patients from both sides of the river because of this bridge. Thank you.

stretching the first cable



It has been an exciting day. We learned a lot. Today we tried to stretch our first cable across the Yabus River by attaching it to the back of the truck and pulling it. We learned a lot about how to attach it (using a bulldog grip and chain), where to attach it (65 meter mark), and that this cable is extremely heavy. We are thrilled that it fed straight into the tubes we have buried in the deadman anchor. We hope to get pictures of that soon. Say a prayer of safety for us as we try and stretch the four cables across tomorrow.
Here is Phil getting the cables in position to be pulled.
