mission: build a wall. YES.
here's the deal- around our school is what we like to call our, you know, "school yard" (clever?). it is a wonderful space for the chilluns to run around and play. however it has been kind of hard first of all to define to the neighbors, kids, me.. exactly where it starts/stops. AND people just kept coming in and stealing our fruit! (fyi- we have quite the garden out there..)
brilliant solution? a wall. clear boundries. protection..
in true dominican fashion of course it is cinder block style..
some of the awesome group working with some of our friends who live around the school. shovel that dirt!
why of course there was some time to play.. :)THANK YOU AUSTIN STONE.
really, there were SO many amazing things about this group. nicki and scott were incredible leaders and i was so happy to see some familiar faces from home!! everyone was extremely hard-working and so incredibly flexible about everything. some hardcore ladies attacked my termite-filled shelves, others carried cinder block for hours, some worked in the garden and made the yard look awesome.. of course they wore themselves out loving on our kids.. AND when all of our directors were out of the country at the end of the stone trip, the group ROCKED the bucket baths and "no flushing" after a sweaty beach day (our pump overheated, we had no water in the cistern.. calling a water truck and soliciting help from our neighbors didn't fix it.. blah)
the wall is still coming and it will be so cool when it is all finished. praise Jesus for bringing such willing people to serve Him in this.
