06/13/13: The trek
to Upper Javier this morning was different.
A heavy rain fell all night into early morning. My goal for the day was to capture photos of
the foot path the workers use to walk-in the construction materials, from the delivery
point to the construction site, the “Sewing Center”. This foot path, approx. one-quarter mile, is
narrow at many points & a very steep climb for anyone. With the heavy rains, it makes it treacherous
walking in the mud. Part of the pathway
is actually paved with concrete, approx. 20” wide, though this makes it even
more slick & challenging. Typhoon
season started early this year and one has occurred already in the south near
Mindanao. The College is located high in
the mountains & less chance of flooding.
As a reminder, Upper Javier community is built on the side of a mountain
& I wasn’t sure I would ever visit before, during or after any rain. Today was the day though. The workers continue walking in material from
the drop point. Two windows were
purchased & delivered today. This
will increase the airflow in the Sewing Center.
