The Work Project |
||||||
 This
whole area needs to be concrete? Okay! |
 First
clear the piles of dirt and rocks |
 Bhavin,
Jessica C, Vicky, & Chris make it easy work |
 Maria,
Josh, Rob, Mike, & Yanette mix new concrete |
 Laura,
Charlie, and Bhavin pour it (in the rain!) |
||
 The
new baño and shower for the Cachorros |
 Nice
work Don Julio (no "negativity sound" here!) |
 Jessica
Clark and Vicky work on the outside under Don Julio's supervision (of course) |
Amy and Emily work on the tiles on the inside |
|||
 2 wheel
barrows of sand, 2 gravel, 1 bag of cement, 2 gravel, 2 sand, 1 cement |
 xx
shows the two Jessicas how to mix perfect cement |
 Mike
and Maria smooth the cement, Laura shovels |
 \ Construction
worker Lionel perfects the edges |
 Vanessa
smoothes it out -- watched by Lionel & xx |
||
 Next,
the board breaks up the old concrete (evil tools) |
 Everyone
works on some part of the project |
 Nickie
and Emily sort and label socks & tidy cubbies |
Daly and Yanette paint the auditorium |
|||
 Okay,
so now the wall needs to come down |
 The
"evil tool" made a little dent in the foot thick wall, |
 but
the jack hammer is a lot more effective |
Go Jeena! |
|||
 The
children test the wheel barrow |
 Seems
to work . . . even without the barrow! |
 That's
a LOT of concrete! |
 Charlie,
Chris, and Vanessa survey our work |
 Wilbert
and Chris play baseball (or is it cricket?) |
||
 Time
for a laundry party! |
Then on to a celebration -- |
 dinner
at El Patio. Good. |
 Good
food. |
Good company, too. |
||
 The
road outside the gates |
 Houses
pile up the hillside in Colonia Montes de Sinai |
 The
street heading up into Colonia Montes de Sinai (and the pulperia selling
water) |
 \ Don
Julio and Doña Tona's house (across the street) |
