Today was another day starting bright and early at 8am. The goal for the day was to dig the foundation for the adobe hut. We ran into problems though because the ground that we were building the hut on top of had an adobe wall burnied underneath it. Fearing that the group might be unstable, we had to change our original plans and add concrete for support. Some students also worked with the children at the school and helped them with arts and crafts.
We went home for lunch and then the group split up. Some kids went on a hike with Mr. Dorn towards Patachanca. Others went to a basket weaving workshop and although they complained the entire time, the seven boys that attended it - made some really nice baskets that will probably end up being a present for their parents. We went home for dinner and then met up again around 8pm. We went to Kennedy´s office for a discussion on the global education crisis. It was very enlightening and successful and everyone made a good contribution to the meeting. We finished off the night celebrating Mr. Dorn´s birthday with cake!

Hello Everyone! Sounds like another productive day of work. Nate, I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better and were able to make the trek without difficulty. I look forward to seeing some of those baskets that were made. Keep up the good work. And Happy Birthday Mr. Dorn!
