Wow! What a blessed day we had working down at San Lucas! Some of
us worked on the roofing project (more on that on the next blog!).
About half of the group worked on installing stoves that were installed
in homes in San Lucas. Now....these weren't the kind you buy at Wal
Mart, Sam's Club, or Nebraska Furniture Mart. These are made from
Concrete Blocks! Today we spent the day with 3 local masons who helped
with these Stoves. To construct these stoves, we had to cut concrete
blocks with a machette (Large Knife normally used to cut vegetation).
We also had to mix the concrete and help with the construction of these
stoves.
It was a great a rewarding time to help these families to get
something that is more effecient, safe, and healthy for the family.
This will keep the women from cooking over an open flame...and help them
prepare meals more effeciently! Tomorrow we will be working on the
roof. Adios until next time!
