Last week we had the privilege to help out on construction for 4 days in a small town 5 hours from Santa Cruz
Karen,Taylor and I took a bus(really dirty bus) and as soon as we arrived we were put to work. It was hot hot hot and we worked hard so when 5 o'clock came we were looking forward to heading to our accommodation and having a lovely cool shower.......that's when a brother came and told us that our accommodation had no water we thought "ha ha what a funny joke"............turns out he wasn't joking so we then proceeded clean ourselves with baby wipes I think we used about 40 each. We then tried to sleep on straw mattresses....not itchy in the least. Then the next day perhaps due to our sticky appearance and slight odor a lovely couple offered us to use there shower(one of the only places in the town that had running water) sweet sweet running water. We had an awesome time and hope to go again for the next project.
Karen working even when she is resting
Taylor fetching water(the only water available)for the construction team from a well. she loved doing this by the way.
As usual Taylor doing the heavy work and I'm made to supervise
Wakako is an inspiration. she is a single sister who has been assigned to the crew for this entire project. Kyria and I are going to try and do the same for one of the upcoming projects. thanks Wakako!
