Day 6

Hola!

Just a quick update for today. We went to work again, and carried sand and gravel. We did it a little bit differently today - Instead of taking all the buckets up the stairs, we used a "pulley" system, where we hooked our pails onto the end of a metal rod, and one of the local workers, Niko, stood on the other side of the railing upstairs and lifted them over to us. It was definitely an easier for us, though I am not so sure about Niko. All the locals are extremely hard workers, and we just try our best to help them and keep up with them. 

Tomorrow will be our last day of work, and will only be a half day, as we plan to see some of the neighbourhood where the students live, and also see some of the other schools that are run by COCREF.

We are all doing well, and having lots of fun. Hope everybody at home is doing well, your continued thoughts and prayers are certainly appreciated. See you in a few days!
