Serving At Risk Families : Monday, January 13th

Today was a big workday as we worked hard toward finishing the computer lab. We have an incredible Guatemalan contractor we are working with - his name is Hugo. He is a very good carpenter and really knows what he is doing. He is very proud of his work. After we assisted Hugo with installing all of the counter tops, he left and we bolted them down. Katrina, Gene, Bobby, Trent, Missy, Dylan and Chris all worked together to complete it. We installed fans and cleaned up. I think that if anyone needed an electrician, Katrina can now do the job! Gene worked with the plumber at the school all the while keeping up with our project. It was a really great day.

We also saw the community come together today around the school we are working in. Women and children showed up this morning and they cleaned, painted, and had such a fun time together. When I say cleaned, I mean truly disgusting things like the bathrooms that we would never even let our dog pee in, walls of filth, and general garbage laying around. School begins on Thursday and the school will be ready!

I think we are all still thinking about our day yesterday visiting some of the SARF families. We are looking forward to seeing two more families later this week.
