Villa Housing Projects

The high school group that is down here is helping to build the houses that are currently under construction in the Villa. When Katie and I weren't doing classes or visiting people, we went out there and helped them build. We have been laying the rock foundations for several of them, which involves shoveling rocks from huge piles into buckets and carrying them into the houses and dumping them. Super fun. But seriously, after seeing so much, it's great to be able to use our arms and backs to do something tangible to help people.

Here's one of the rows of houses under construction with the volcano in the background.

The houses are about this big.

Taking a break. It is sooooo hot and dusty.

Like, really dusty. This is my leg after working. You can see the line above and below my sock :)
