The project I was helping Aidan with is now complete and boy what a project it was. Welding with sun glasses, mixing 48 bags of concrete by hand, but Raising the floor 2' was definitely the highlight of the project for me, I never wanna see a wheel barrel again.
Crazy what you can do with a little time, money and many hands. In a world where the demand is so high and the need so great, that feeling of accomplishment soon fled. Although this was a small project the hope is that the love that was felt in and around this community during the project will last longer then the building itself.
"Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love" Mother Teresa.
We quickly moved on to start / continue other projects. One is at a local farm where a large storm ripped up the greenhouse and scattered all the contents across the property. A constant reminder is, it's not just about a "process to complete" but also an opportunity to teach along the way. What are gifts, experiences and talents we have if we are not able to teach them as we go, that way the knowledge is not lost and can be carried on when we are long gone.
The other project is at a local training facility with many foreign workers / volunteers. With many obstacles and goals set at the property, a few ways to help out is to have a place to grow their own food. To produce food from your local place is a great reminder of home. Plus who doesn't like a little getaway to the garden for some down time, a little "soil therapy" if you will.

With Christ*mas time on the way the town is coming alive. Cleaning, painting, hanging lights everywhere, Christmas decorations and music throughout.
Many are taking a little break for the season to be with friends and family, a much needed break from the fast paced lifestyle here. We will continue after and see what we can complete with the short time we have left.
Peace & Love
