Twelve volunteers from Alberta are spending two weeks building a new dormitory at the Men’s Drug Rehab Center in Estiva. Because of the constant heavy rains we have experienced here, work was delayed a little on raising the walls of the new building. Today was the first day of sunshine, so everyone was hard at work pouring the concrete on the floor of the new dorm. However, the team didn’t waste any time the first part of the week waiting around for the rain to stop. They painted the inside of an existing dorm and the second and third floors of the Vinde a Mim orphanage dorm. One of the team members, Jeff Brown, also did a presentation on SODIS (Solar Disinfection) in Frei Damião. This is a solar method of providing clean drinking water. What a great group!
A happy moment – the sun came out!
