On the second day we got into a large tour bus that took us to a fork in the road. At that point we unloaded everything and filled up half a dozen Nissan trucks, with supplies and people and were transported to the Community. We were greeted by students holding signs, welcoming Foundation Escalera and all the different families. We were treated to a great opening ceremony, filled with dancing, music and speeches. After all the celebrations we immediately started work on the construction of the school as well as installation of the stoves. It was a long first day, but no one really noticed. Everyone was just excited to be in La Colonia working on the school.
