More walls!








Better health and more hands = more walls! We finished off the panels they had planned for us to this week so they are having to getting more. We plan to knock out several more tomorrow on our last day at the site.














Everyone was split up into several teams to construct the walls from the panels and one or two more to put them in place. The walls was the main focus of the work today with some other folks bending heavy wire into rectangles to used to build beams that connect to the columns to serve as the top of the walls.
Dinner was shared again and the Mexican students were able to stay longer than usual since there is no school tomorrow. I am not sure how many more students we will have with us tomorrow since there is no school but the plan is to finish as many walls as we can.

Tomorrow we will have to say our goodbyes because most of the team has a 6:30 flight from Oaxaxa so it will be a very early morning. It will be tough for both groups as some good bonds have been formed.
