The work begins

We set off this morning in our work clothes to begin a project at Casa Hogar. When we arrived, we quickly picked up paint, brushes, rollers and a ladder at the bodega and headed off for our task of repainting both the inside and outside of the kitchen building. The kitchen is a busy place so it was a tricky process to paint inside without disrupting the cooking that was going on. Half our team started on the inside and half on the outside. We got a lot accomplished before the lunch break, but after lunch the rains hit, so work proceeded only on the inside. This allowed part of the team to leave and go play with the children…one of our favorite things!

The on and off rain broke for a while and a pickup volleyball game started on the concha and some of our team members participated with the kids before another shower stopped the action. With the rain, we decided to head back to Casa LAMB a little early so we could pick up everything for Kennedy Allemand’s Birthday celebration. The celebration happened after dinner and included cake, party hats and a pinata!

Tomorrow we will be visiting with Amanda Scott and her class at the Joy Academy before we head down the road to Casa Hogar and continue our painting of the kitchen building. Photos of some of our activities are below.

Peace,

Jay
