New multi-purpose center, intended especially for handicapped children

Adjoining new center for easy access is a block of five homes for families of handicapped children

Each home has own toilet and two bedrooms; each bedroom a double-decker bed

All windows & doors have been fitted with mosquito screens

An undercover area for sitting out ...and hanging out
 (the washing)

A special area
for washing clothes + cooking

Each family has its own section and its own
 gas cylinder

Views of Zhaoqing from undercover area

Water tank, saving rain water, for when free mountain spring water fails, as it sometimes does in dry Winter

Rare sight in China: roof gutter

Building this water tank in present rainy season makes me understand how Noah felt building the Ark:
 is it really necessary?

To come: landscaping

Coming soon DV: Ricci School will be moved to levelled site in this photo in time for new academic year, September 1, 2008

Each Friday at noon we have a teachers' lunchbox meal/meeting.....and starting today....each Wednesday at noon a lunchbox meal for our special guests: the handicapped and homeless.  Marco Polo will soon be home to eight handicapped children.
