Mir Pace International

Hola!!!!! Today was our second day at our respective work sites. Everyone has come back with amazing stories about their hard days work. The group with the two hour climb was pleasantly surprised to find their house to have a foundation when they arrived in the morning. They spent their day leveling the foundation of the house and patio as well as laying cinder blocks for the base of the house. One of the other groups had a great day in the mountains mixing cement and pouring the foundation into the trenches they dug yesterday. They were disappointed to end the day a bit early however, due to rain. After we returned to Tamahu, a couple of kids went to visit babies at the malnutrition center. The babies were very cute but their condition was a bit shocking. One of the babies, Orlando, loved to be held and seemed to be doing well. Right now the group is all hanging out, we are all getting along very well and will probably head over to the stadium soon to play some soccer with the local kids. We are sad that we only have one full day left in Tamahu, and disappointed that we may not get to see our houses to completion, but we are extremely grateful for the opportunity to help in the house building process.

All our love,
Nicole, Sheila, and Cori
