This past week, the communities successfully bought the materials for their projects and are excited to get to work!

In Chupá, Matt, Katie and Charlotte organized a fundraiser with the youth by hosting a community movie night. They raised $70 to put toward their community initiative, which is repairing the baseball field!

In Llano de Piedras, Maren and Kylie were busy planting 2,000 donated trees with the help of the ecological group in their community. The community is also excited to start work on building a shelter to protect the newly donated alternative generator in the health center.

In Bajos de Güera, the Max and Sebastian worked with the aqueduct committee to finish the construction of the community water containers. This Saturday they will start working to replace the tubing that brings the water from the hills to the houses in the community.

On Friday, we enjoyed a free day at the beach!
