Today we started working at the school. We worked building two classrooms. The girls worked on making rebars. The guys worked in the classroom with the cement and placing blocks. Maddy joined the guys in that very hard work. Everyone worked really hard in the hot sun, and nobody complained. I (Aviva) am very proud of these young people. Franklin took us for a walk through the village. That was an eye opener for our team. We are thankful that the work day ended at three! Showers and all cleaned up again.
Because it is summer there are no children at the school. However the custodians two grandsons were playing at the school. Jillian and Sam helped them with the swings.
Franklin taught us a new song.
Tengo un amigo que me ama, me ama, me ama. Y su nombre Ed Jesus.
