Two weeks ago we were able to make some great progress on the space lent to us in Flor de Bastión. You might remember in July when we had a similar "minga" or work day to begin work on the space. Since then we've using the space you see below, but we noticed a few necessary additions made more urgent when rainy season kicked into full gear these past few weeks.
 |
| The "Maestro" hard at work! |
 |
| Mixing the first batch of cement! |
Luckily, we have a great group of dedicated scholars and parents who spent their Sunday doing their part to make sure we have a great place to continue our programs throughout the next 5 months of rainy season!
 |
Who says this is man's work? Not Betsy & Karina!!
|
 |
| David, one of our youngest and most enthusiastic participants! |
On Sunday we had 3 main goals -
1) Finish the back wall of our classroom
 |
| Starfish dad, Aníbal, with Starfish Employee, Marcos. |
2) Cement a trench/drain so that water that seeks in the through the sugar cane walls will filter out instead of into our classroom
 |
| Step 1 of the drain! |
 |
Finished drain!
|
3) Clean up the area around outside of the classroom.
 |
Students and parents alike helped clean up in the neighborhood surrounding Starfish.
Thanks to Starfish mom Juana for the great motivation! |
We are proud to say that on Sunday we completed all 3 of these important tasks and that our space is now ready for the rain!
