So today we got up this morning to go to a community called la Carpio to clean. When we first got there I was really suprised to see how the people there lived. Like I saw pictures of places like that but never in person. For examples I saw the houses were made of metal type material and so were the rooves. It seemed like there were a lot of people living in one house. There were also many dogs that just wandered around the community. We could also smell the sewage lines.
So we all start cleaning and once we were cleaning the neighbors around started helping us and that really shocked me because I thought they were just going to watch us work.
So the work we were doing is flatening out a street so people can come in and pave a road and it got alittle hard at times. Then we moved on to an area which was there sewage ditch and it was very nasty and I never thought I would be picking up some ones waste. But with the help of the people and them being nice to us, showing they appricated it, I didnt really have doubt of doing it for them. To go along with that the kids were really nice and they little little kids were even trying to help us shovel and flaten dirt in their bare hands and with sandals on some even shorts. While we were all wearing boots, sunscreen, hats, glasses, bandans trying to stay covered from the sun. To conclude I really enjoyed today and cant wait to go back tomorrow to finish our work with them and see people who dont live too well so happy. :)
