Construction of the Road to Piton
This is a blog post I created specifically for the purpose of approaching three supporters that I expected would be interested in helping us out with this road project. I sent them a link to this post, knowing they would understand 1) how fundamentally important something as basic as a traversable road is to the progress of a community, and 2) not everyone is interested in helping us buy cement (understandably)! This years-long project was taken on by multiple communities on Piton mountain with the expressed purpose of aiding the top of the mountain that is home to Piton and Piton West.
This interest in supporting the northern-most communities on the mountain is relatively new; when Tom and I first began working in Piton in 2014, there was little interest in the welfare of these communities. The road and everything else just stopped.
THANK YOU to David Flow, Jake Loyd, and Jonathan Blount for responding so quickly and generously. I've known these gentlemen somewhere around 13 years and they've all three shown immense interest in our work in Piton. They not only responded quickly to an out-of-the-blue plea, but they provided more than requested, which allowed us to make even more progress on the road.
Somewhere a proverb was born about planting a tree under whose shade one will never sit. Thank you so much, David, Jake, and Jonathan for caring about a road that you likely will never walk. You're positively affecting the welfare of generations.

Below are pictures from Samuel showing the progress. First is 2024 with vertical orientation first and horizontal second.
Then are the pictures from the work done in 2022; vertical and horizontal separate. They're easier to view when in the same orientation.
