So far, the first day on this trip has exceeded our expectations. Today we went to Bernard’s house, where we filled the foundation of his new house with sand. We got so much more done than we thought we would, thanks to the great weather and extreme teamwork. Before lunch at the work site, we met some local kids that ran around us as we worked. The kids just enjoyed our company, they liked to know our names and ran around screaming them, they were so sweet. We realized that the kids love to talk to you even if you can’t understand them, they also love to play fight. This was a great first! We came only knowing each other but have already made so many new friends, we are excited for the rest of the trip and the adventures to come.

Hey Chloe and Anna! It was good to read about your first work day. You sound full of energy for work! Keep on posting comments throughout your week - it’s such a wonderful surprise to see your names after I read them all! Participants’ comments are little windows for the rest of us; letting us in on a minute fraction of what you are experiencing. juv you, Momso
Annalisa and Chloe, we are closely following along through the updates to the blog and photos. Sounds and looks like you are working hard as well as enjoying yourselves. Proud of you both, keep it up, as it will have its rewards. Just to let you know that Benjamin had a great time at Sand Banks but he caught poison ivy! All the best, love Dad, Mom and Benjamin
