I'm excited to report that we have completed the huge construction projects that were planned for week one! From teaching us how to mix cement, weld, and stretch a fence with a pitchfork, the villagers helped us increase our efficiency by at least 50%. The fence was up and secured in no time! Some of the playground toys also needed to be re-secured with cement and other reinforcement. Once that was completed the area was flooded with children eager to explore and play. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing huge smiles on all of the children's faces.
After finishing up construction our entire team decided to do a little exploration, scaling up some of the surrounding mountains and venturing to some of the villagers houses to get a better idea of how they live and to hear their story.

The construction you built is worth a hundred of best words! It was a day of giving and receiving. I hope you're still doing progress and giving some piece of hope to the poor.
