So, you saw the original windows. Here is a photo of the students and the work in progress...
And then the final windows (which are mirror images of each other, except that the east window has an "alpha" and the west window an "omega".
The installation started on a day when we couldn't attend. When we checked on the progress, we could not believe that the west window had been installed in the east window's space! Yikes! How could this happen? Particularly when the two windows were not the same size???? Jean Claude Augrain, the Foundation's Director, quickly translated and had the installer change out the windows. As the re-installation was taking place, Roberto and Jose Luis came by and pitched in to help. The are both carpenters; now they are both window makers and installers.
I am so proud of the students and feel ever so fortunate to have had this experience. The community is extremely proud of these new windows. I love them!
