Well No. 16

Nuevo Horizon Settlement Photos

 

The homestead community of Nuevo Horizonte is home to some hard working, hardy pioneer folks who are opening new territories in Paraguay, and hoping to have a better life.  Below are some photos of the people and the community.  Linda's gift for photography shows as she captures the spirit of these wonderful people.

Donkeys are a popular, and inexpensive, mode of transportation

Little Fanni Ester - she visited us often

These two sisters are grandmothers and the one on the left lives in the new settlement

This cart is called a "cachape", and the driver, Jezebel (they reminded us that it is a Biblical name) can really whip the oxen into shape

Jesica with her mother Leli

Marcos lives across the road from the well and was quite curious about the whole drilling operation

Smiles like this were evident ...

... in boys and girls all over the community.

This is the road from the Methodist church to the future site of the school, plaza and soccer field

This is a typical house in the community - the government provides 10 sheets of roofing tin and they cut the boards from trees using a chainsaw

... and then God blessed us with a magnificent display of the beauty of His creation

A much needed well drilled in a magnificent location with wonderful people!
