A group of about seven folks are here to install two playgrounds. They buy US hardware and pressure treated lumber and ship to venues all around the world. They follow organizations who are feeding hungry children. They shipped early and the most important ingredient, the lumber, was stored in PaP. So of course, that became the missing ingredient.
The couple who are seeking to adopt had a local man committed to help them. While Liz and Larry fought the bureaucracy, this young man, Archibald, volunteered to go to PaP to retrieve the lumber. This began a saga of trials and challenges. First was getting a truck that could handle the load of the lumber. Then he had to drive to PaP with the truck. That is over a road filled with ruts and wholes. Not only did they have to go via a challenging road, but they had to find fuel. Arriving in PaP, the next challenge was finding the lumber and getting it loaded - a very heavy load. And then the saga began. Days passed. Communication was spotty. Trouble with the truck; a flat tire; two flat tires; tires fixed but no air to inflate; a new truck (requiring unloading and loading the lumber) … Wednesday evening at 7:00 PM the lumber arrived. We will watch a miracle happen today when a local park gets transforms into a park with a playground.
