This is the rumor that has surfaced this past week.
The Asian Highway #11 is coming through our village.
We've known this for quite some time how ever this past week it was announced that construction would start very soon, though a time was not yet given.
It was announced that the road would measure 35 meters from the center of the current road.
This would cut the church in half and we would also loose half the school property and a couple class rooms.
I do think that this news inaccurate. I don't believe the it is from center, but rather the total width of the road would be 35 meters. Because for me a 70 meter road is pretty near unheard of.
Also the recent electric poll placement does suggest the total road width would be 35 meters.
35 meters total or 70 meters total.
Either way the school is going to loose. We will lose the new office and 50 to 100% of the play area depending. We are doing what we can at the moment to find out the actual true width of the road.

The good news is that we've already poured the pads for 4 units at our new property and in someway are prepared for this to happen. Got to praise God for taking care of His works a head of time.
The challenging news will come when we are hit with time frames of the road being built.
We can not afford to transfer and build everything at once so we need time.
The bad news is we only have to move the school, no body lives there. but all the families along the road are going to lose everything.
A lot of Ream's families are included in this, I can think of 6 family members that will lose their home at the moment.
We are really praying that the road is less wide than what local leaders are saying.
