Day 5 - Tuesday (Feb. 14) – Construction

The construction crew had a phenomenal week. With such a large, experienced crew they were able to do far more than was initially planned. By the end of the week they had built a home for the Oba family. This family of 4 had been living with 12 people in a small wooden hut. They also built a home for the Awan family. This family of 3 had been living with their parents, also a total of 12 people, in a small hut. They built a kitchen for the school so that children who live too far away to walk home can get a good, healthy meal. They replaced the door on Howard Storm's home (which is also used to house people who have no place to stay). They put siding on another man's home. They purchased (out of their own pockets) materials for a concrete floor. And other stuff... that I will tell when I get back to Cincinnati. We are now leaving for the airport and they are yelling at me. So good bye.
