When I say hey you say ho. HEYYY! HOOO!
We started the day with pretty cool wake up call and a YUCCA breakfast! We made our way to Mata de Cadillo, the community where we are doing our Community Action Project. This was our first day of construction on the kitchen. We arrived to find part of the foundation cleared and joined the locals in leveling the land in order to build the foundation of the kitchen. One group worked on building the table while the other did manual labor like shoveling, pick-axing, and mixing cement. It was satisfying to work with the locals and fun to work together with our group while listening to music. We are looking forward to CAP day 2 tomorrow! Shoutout to the Rodriguez Family!

Wow!!! You are all such impressive individuals, to see all of you working this hard instead of being home sleeping in on your summer break speaks volumes of all of you. I know that this experience is not only growing your knowledge, appreciation, and hearts but also continuing to shape you as wonderful adults. We’re so proud of all of you, and wish you the best in completing this wonderful project successfully and without incidents. Please continue to stay hydrated. We miss you!

You guys are doing such an amazing job! Shot out to Emma and Hannah for being awesome leaders. From day one your Glimpers showed teamwork, commitment, and determination. And most of all they’re having fun.
