Foundations Provide Stability
Firstly, thank you so much for donating and/or subscribing to Home 4 Arjun newsletter. We have reached over 35% of the goal. Fantastic and all thanks to you!
Arjun and Ranjan have been overwhelmed with your generosity and cannot believe people they don’t know have been interested in their predicament and are willing to help people they don’t know. Sadly, they are not able to read but we have taken them through the website and they are so, so grateful. We will post a video update with them in the coming week or two.
The main update over the last two weeks is that your contributions have meant that we could give them the go ahead to knock down the existing building and clear the site in preparation for digging the foundations. This was massive news for Arjun and Ranjan – they haven’t yet told their kids as they don’t want to build their hopes but they are very excited.
We also met with a local builder about the project as we prepare for the building phase. We will have an update on definite costs and timelines soon but we are hopeful of being able to build the house within budget and with toilet and shower facilities – something they are not expecting to have. More to come soon on the design and costs.
As you can see, you can see how the build site is now. The original unstable building has been knocked down. The foundation digging will begin on Sunday, March 2nd – an auspicious day chosen as per local traditions.
We have enough funds to complete the foundations and begin the property rebuild but we still need more funds to complete the work. We do have one very exciting update from one donor and we will announce this in due course.
Please do spread the word if you can so we can finalise this project with the contractor on a fixed cost basis so Arjun, Ranjan and their kids can move in before the next monsoon in July.
Thank you again and look out for the exciting announcement in the next few days.
Kind regards,
Mittal & Gavin
