Current infrastructure

The main building consists of four pavilions 30 yards long and 12 yards wide, each one, with a total capacity for forty residents and the corresponding supporting personnel for cooking, cleaning, maintenance, an infirmary and administration. These pavilions are built as a quadrilateral, with internal corridors and a wide interior plaza, surrounded by fruit  trees that make the stay in this place a very pleasant one.

“La Casa Polivalente” was built on the same land.  Here, groups of young people and couples gather almost every weekend, in activities of personal development.  There are also two residential modules, a rural house, and two kiosks for religious celebrations and recreational activities.  All these buildings cover an area of approximately 2,000 square meters. There is a small artificial lagoon where fish were placed as a pisciculture pilot project.

To guarantee the provision of drinkable water to a bigger population of residents and to use the remainder for irrigation purposes,  a well about 60 yards deep was built, equipped with a submersible electric pump with capacity for a sustained flow of 4 inches of water.  At present, there is also a water supply sourced from a spring that surfaces on a hill of the property.
