House Building Day 2
So the next day we went back out to the same village to finish off the rest of the houses. We only had 3 more to finish. We did 10 total as a group. This time the kids weren't as shy. They were basically at our sides from the moment that we stepped off of the vans. They wanted to do the dancing again and also wanted to 'learn' more English. It didn't take very long for us to finish the other 3 houses. So we enjoyed our time hanging out with the kids while a group of BYU students finished some interview they were doing. When all the houses were finished we 'presented' the houses and a house warming gift to each of the families. Each family was presented with a plaque for their house and a hand made quilt. It was really cool to see each of the families who had worked so hard to save the money finally get their homes.
