The first construction team has arrived at Heart to Heart!

Darcy Lamoureau and a team of 6 other men and 1 woman, all from Alberta, raised $80,000 to fill two containers with tents, construction supplies, 9 tons of concrete, lumber, mixers and tools. One of these containers will be arriving tomorrow and the team will spend the next 11 days setting up two large structural tents, (24' x 32' each) complete with wooden floors. One tent will house a temporary kitchen and the other will be used as a guest house for mission teams arriving over the next several years. Each tent is fully containerd with power and fans and is guaranteed to last 20 years. The guest house will be divided in half for men and women, and later on, another team will construct a mezzanine inside the tent to accommodate couples travelling together. Darcy and his team also plan on building a carpentry shop to house all of the tools including table saws, so that future teams will have the necessary equipment to do their work.
