We Finished Week One!

We have finished our first work week and have gotten a lot done. Ramon is on the right of the picture and he has been our trusted leader for all of the construction that we have been doing. As you may our may not be able to tell we have been doing a lot of work with block and concrete.

By Wednesday we had finished the retaining wall the Yeha mentioned in the last post and started to work on the foundation for the classroom. What you see in the picture is Chuck standing where the front of the classroom will actually be.

Thursday and Friday we spent most of the making concrete and moving block for the foundation for the classroom. I think that by the end of the trip everyone will be experts on making concrete foundations. We also had to move a lot of dirt to fill the newly made retaining wall.

During the evenings we spend a lot of time hanging out with some of the kids from the school. The church compound that we are staying it becomes a hang out for for all of the kids. The will play futbol (soccer).

Overall we had a great first week. We were able to help the classroom move a lot faster than if we were not there.
