Day three was a long day, but we were able to get a lot done. The school went from a few walls, put up the night before, to a three classroom school in just one day. As light faded the last panels were put on the roof to complete the school. All that was left for the next day was some finishing touches inside the classrooms, such as paint touch up, or electrical wiring.
Twenty stoves were installed throughout the community. People who live in the highlands of Mexico have cooked their food over open flames inside their homes for many years. This affects their health, causing respiratory illnesses, stunted growth and other issues. By installing stoves that effectively divert smoke to the exterior of the home, we hope to create a much healthier home environment.
It was a long day, everyone was exhausted, but the amount of work that we were able to accomplish was pretty amazing.
