Project Groundbreaking (Ceremonial)

We had the ceremonial groundbreaking for the project last week (April 26th). At the moment we are still waiting on one final approval in regards to the hospitals property agreement by our American legal team. Once we have this approval we can sign the contract with the contractor and get right to work on the construction of this project. Please pray that we can acquire the documents that our legal team is requesting in a prompt fashion. The whole expat medical team and national hospital staff here are all excited about the new project getting underway as this has been in the works for the past 10 years and beyond.

The official unveiling of the building

Project managers and some of the Doctors

It was a private ceremony with only the hospital staff invited.  There was still in the order of 400+ people.

Bengalis are quick to move on from the ceremony to refreshments. (It was a super hot afternoon)

Project Sign. A local artist did a rough painting while we wait for our final digital rendering.




The current model of the hospital (DRAFT).  We are still working with the design firm to finalize this rendering.

I found myself in a couple of the pictures!! It was kind of like playing "Where's Waldo"! It was great that we got to be there for the ground breaking. I remember how quickly the people moved towards the snacks!! :)
