Day 3: Working at Chilamate Elementary

This post was written by Duncan and Kyler.

Today at the Chilamate school we worked on the final tasks for building a pavilion for the school and community. We split up into three different groups, each with different jobs to do. One group worked on putting cement on the supports of the pavilion. 




Another group picked up rocks in one area and transported them to behind a wall. 





Also, a group cleaned and painted beams. 





We learned that if we work together as a team we will always have success and get the job done.

 Also at Chilamate today, we got a tour of the school classrooms, and got to meet some of the kids in the school. The classrooms were surprisingly large, and were different from what we had seen before. There were a lot more kids than I thought there would be. We also got the chance to play fĂștbol with the 5thgraders. Some of those kids were amazing at soccer!  Most of us couldn’t even compete with them in the game. Immediately after the kids left to go back to their class, we played a quick game of soccer. That game was the last thing we did at the school.
