We completed our second day of building houses today. While we thought the first day was tough digging the trench and cementing in 3 layers of cinder block, today was an even bigger challenge as we had to mix a TON of cement to pour the floor and cement in the trough of the cinder block. Mixing cement entails loading several wheelbarrows of dirt and rock, pouring over the cement and water, and then mixing it with shovels. It is backbreaking work.

We continue to be motivated however when we witness the difficulties this family has with their current living conditions. It is hard to describe the conditions unless you see it first hand.

The homeless shelter was rather interesting last night. We assisted in the feeding of about 40 men, and a handful of women and children. A homeless shelter in a 3rd world country is a completely different story then in the US.
