what a day…in El Salvador
This post was written by undergraduate student Rosa Ortiz ’11
So Tuesday we lost a member due to dehydration and well wednesday didn´t go so well either…we lost three more members due to some more sicknesses. Good news however, they are all doing great now and have been taken care of. Work was tough on that day but we have a great team and they all got together and did what they had to do to get the work done. The houses look like they are coming along well, we have continued to paint one house and are almost done with the inside (yay). The other house has brick walls going up and is making some great progress. While we worked we tried to keep two words in mind-tan and tone; as we wheel-barrel lots of dirt and bricks up and down the hill we like to think that we´re developing a nice tan and we´re toning our muscles, it makes the work a little bit easier. One of our group leaders, Lisa Thomas, headed back to her family in Boston tuesday, she will be missed as she was known to be one of the friendliest members to the salvadorians ;). After a long day of work we welcomed Amir Reza who arrived in El Salvador Wednesday night in place of Lisa.
