The start of our service project




Well, today has been quite an eventful day. After waking up to the sound of roosters and eating a delicious Costa Rican breakfast with our homestay families, we were off to our first day of working at the school. We arrives to a hoard of young children with large grins on their faces, excited to meet the foreigners. We started by marking off what land we were going to be building on, then digging eighty-centimeter deep (exactly) holes in the ground to put in the support beams. The construction foreman, Rigo, was very surprised, especially with the size of the group, with how much work we got done today. After ending a successful day, we were all ready for a nice shower and a long, well-deserved sleep.
