Dominican Republic- Work Site

Monday June 2, 2014-Thursday June 5, 2014

Our first day at the worksite.
The drive from the the Compound to the worksite was an hour and half.
Our task for the week was to dig and lay the foundation for a church in San Francisco.

Our entire team of 18 went to the worksite the first day.

The trenches were to be 3 feet deep. The clay was heavy and the work was hard.
We dug, raked and pick axed in the trenches...
Everyone helped, doing what they could and giving their all.

We were joined on the site by locals from the village who were eager to share their skills and time to build their church.

After 2 hours of laborious work, we stopped for lunch (sandwiches, chips and water :) and 14 members of our team boarded the Gecko to travel to the VBS site.

The Mighty 4 (Rob and 3 other men of our team) remained at the worksite the rest of the first day and returned each day after to continue this project.

The following pictures are of their progress-

Their dedication and hard work completed the digging and pouring of cement by Day 4 of our work week.
