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.

pulling the cables

Here are a few pictures from pulling the cables across the river. Our master plan was to tie a small steel cable to the back of the pick up truck. We would then attach this to the 65 meter mark on the bridge cable and have the truck pull the cable tight. It worked fairly well. Enjoy some of the pictures from this two day adventure.



Phil and Thomas Simon are pictured attaching the small steel rope to the bridge cable.

The truck pulling the cable tight



Phil and Eli have to go out on the strung cable and loosen the small steel cable to pull the next one. Looks fun, eh?
