San Rafael Day 2

Today was a heavy work day, balanced with fun. Our projects consisted of painting the outside of a classroom and inserting a drainage ditch. 
Here is a picture of one of the completed walls:

The other wall was a bit more complicated because we had to work around windows.  Here is a video showcasing the work involved with the other wall of the classroom and the beginning of the drainage ditch:

So, I'll just describe everything. 

For the drainage ditch, we had to chip away at the existing concrete in order to make room for the half pipe.  After several hours of intense labor, the pipe fit into the ditch and we had to make the cement in order to hold the pipe in place. 

On the other side of the classroom, a few of us labored in the sun, working to delicately paint the wall/windows.  Claire handled the finesse work, while the rest worked at covering as much wall as possible with big paint rollers. 

Pictures!!!

We intermittently took breaks to play soccer with the children.  They are all very good. One little boy, about 7 years old, weaved his way through Felix and Ryan and neatly put the ball into the goal past Eleanor.

That's all for today. 

Hasta luego!
