It has been too long, an update is needed on the status of the project.
As I mentioned in my last post, there are many things that we feel must be thoroughly addressed before we begin the actual building construction. I am glad to report that we are almost there. Many meetings and discussions have taken place during this pause with the goal of ensuring that as we move ahead money and time will be carefully spent.
It is true that "time is money", but in the case of the Revolution Project we have a flexible amount of time but only a specific amount of money, so we must focus on funds more than days.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this pause.
As Americans, our perception of how things are expected to go with a construction project are very different than how Dominicans percieve the construction. We have grown accustomed to tight time-frames for projects completed under even tighter budgets. Priorities are not necessarily the same here in the DR, although I know our engineer/builder and Dr. Canario would like to get the building completed soon and in a very short time frame.
Our challenge is ensuring that the limited funds we have are very carefully used so that we end up with a fully completed facility. Pushing ahead might feel good for now, but without careful monitoring we could push time and end up with an incomplete project.
All of our issues are just about completed, we should begin the constrution soon.
Thank you for the many prayers for the project and everyone involved.
I hope to report again soon.
