First work day in Tamahu!!!!





HOLA!
Today we climbed a grande montaña, and it was quite the challenge. The smiles awaiting us at the top were well worth it. First, we attended mass with the Chipacin people, then we had a lunch, gave the children bubbles which created a mass eruption of laughter. Finally, we got down to business and met with the people about nutrition. During this meeting we discovered a way to help the people grow better and more nutritional crops-COMPOST!!! We are going to accomplish composting using manure, and monday we will return to help clear an area and begin the community garden and education about the compost and manure use. Tomorrow we will go to a medical facility and help treat local patients. We will keep you posted!
