Today was supposed to be easy, but it was very hard! The sun was out and it was a scorcher, but fear not, we pushed through! It was a special day because we got to visit Jose-Luis’ kinder garden class. It was very precious to see all the little boys and girls; they had a lot of energy. In terms of work today, we moved 8 tonnes of concrete, and about 300 bricks. Although the work was hard, we had a lot of fun during breaks and immersed ourselves in the culture. One special treat that we got today was called horchata. It is a Salvadorian specialty drink. At the end of the day, we finally lowered the rebar into the trenches, this felt satisfying because it means we are almost ready to start putting bricks up.
Cheers, Lauren, Julia and Rachel
