Day 5

Today was a full and busy working day. We arrived at our new site - a home that had been partially destroyed by an earthquake years prior. On our way to the build site, we got to stop and tour a home that a Canadian team had helped finish a week prior in order to pick up some supplies that were needed. The final touches are being added, below:

We then arrived at the new build site.

Most of the day was spent removing rocks, bricks, and dirt from the inside of the house. An old tile floor also had to be demolished and removed. A very long and hot day, but it was amazing.

After work, we walked to downtown San Vicente and climbed the town's tower.

The guys on top of the tower: Front - Adam and Carlos, the translator. Back - myself, Andrew, and Beichen.
