3.       Los Pinos clinic
        The roof is being completed.
         A cistern will be installed next, then a septic tank.
         Inside work will begin in 2 months.

(Presently, we have enough funds to pay for the roof, cistern, septic tank, and painting/plastering the walls, but not enough yet for the electrical/plumbing work and the floors.)

(We plan to use the partially completed Los Pinos clinic for the first time during our October trip.)
