After a full day of building school benches with the locals and playing jump rope with the children, day three was a resounding success. This day, which was full of good deeds and graces, had a morning boosted by a breakfast that consisted of a roll, banana, and Haitian oatmeal which everyone agreed was the best tasting oatmeal!!! After a short truck ride into town, we got our hands dirty and started our day of services by sanding the school benches. It was hard work, but we got fourteen of the twenty-five benches sanded. Lunch was a meal of cold cut sandwiches which was shared with the local people, many who were working hard right along side us. After lunch, the guys worked on cutting wood for building the rest of the benches, while the rest of the group set to work at varnishing the the completed benches or playing jump rope with the super cute children!!! When the day was over we came back to camp to a great meal of meat,rice and super duper hot sauce!! At the end of the day, everyone is dirty and tired, but in great spirits as we all look forward to the week of service ahead.
