Today was the second day of our community action project (CAP). We continued the multiple projects that we started yesterday and we’re beginning to get a feel for the time and effort needed to finish each task. Despite some setbacks throughout the group, we’ve managed to keep our positive attitude.
The painting group for the classroom was able to make tremendous progress in the short time available. After realizing that we needed a different shade of blue, the group was quick to react in fixing the small mistake. They’ve already finished applying the oil paint, and applied the first layer of the acrylic.
The group that was cleaning and painting the gate were having a hard time removing the rust from the fence, but found a machine to make the process much faster. This is the group that we estimate to take the longest.
The table group was able to construct the top of one of the tables, which is a huge leap in progress compared to yesterday.
The stepping stone group finished the process of laying out where the path will be, and placed the rocks along it. Now all they need is it plant the rocks in the dirt and paint them.
The cleaning group for the most part has split off into other groups to help with the unexpected workload. Once the other jobs are done, they will continue their original job.
After working with the CAP project, we ended the day by tutoring at the university. All in all, the project is coming along well, and we are excited to see the final results.

Hello Nathaniel,
That is great! I do not know which particular project you were actively involved, but all of them sound great. I am sure it was a great learning process and you enjoyed it. To me, anything you do together as a group, does not matter small or big, easy or challenging, is fuuuuun.
We are proud and happy to see you involved in all those things you mentioned in the blog and excited to welcome you back at home and eager to find out all the things you have dome in Chitre. I hope you took lots of picture for the “show and tell” thing for all of us at home.
Enjoy rest of the days at Chitre. I am very thankful to God to keep you happy, healthy, and safe. Looking forward to hear about it all. Have a safe trip back home.
Dad and mom
Look at you Nate, I’m so proud. You go hard. In everything, you’re going to accomplish your victory and your goal. If it takes a day, a year, or 20 years, you’re going to win. You haven’t taken a loss because everything you’ve done has been a working process to win.
I see from this post that sometimes you run into issues with the construction or growing the plants etc., but don’t worry. Them doors that was always closed, rip the doors off, take the hinges off. The other day the grass was brown, now its green cuz you ain’t give up. You gotta water your plants. Nobody can water them for you. I remember the days when I didn’t even have plants. So never surrender. At the end of the day, understand that life has road blocks, and life is like school – you’ll be tested; you gotta pass it. People will try to bring you down, but you gotta go up. Bless up.
