Today, we were able to see real progress on the house...completing the first three courses of block and making significant head way in digging the septic tank. While the scorching heat continued to be our greatest obstacle, the team did an amazing job. In addition to the physical labor, we also continued to build our relationships with the family as well as the masons.
As construction was coming to a close and we were beginning to gather our things we were joined on site by a few of the family members from neighboring houses. They were a welcomed "sack of love" after an exhausting day with their bright smiles.
After work, we continued our cultural experiences and were taught how to paint our own souvenirs. It was a nice way to wind down after a day of hard work.
Adios from Honduras!

Y'all are doing such good work and it seems like a special group there in our La Cieba 2014 team. ALL those Spanish nicknames, the boat ride to the snake island (NO thank you!)...and the new family and such fast progress on the house. Can't wait to SEE PICTURES and HEAR YOUR STORIES! Blesssing to each of you from "home."
