Here's a quick photo update on the bottle school. We've been building for about three weeks and have about four weeks until we start placing bottles in the walls. As of today, we have 5,500 plastic bottles collected and we expect another 1,000 from neighboring communities later this week. For more info on the project, check out previous post "Building Classrooms with Plastic Bottles".
