Today was hard work! Both groups powerwashed accumulated hardened dirt to prepare the roofs for the priming and sealing that will happen tomorrow! The first group’s home was for an older gentleman named “Nelson.” He had lost almost everything with Hurricane Maria. Pam “visited” with him despite not understanding each other’s language, yet they ended their conversation with a hug! He had no family and welcomed the group with passion fruit picked from a tree in his yard. He also sent out for lunch for the group. Tomorrow the group will bring a “care package” back to his home!

The second group started their day with a rather scary trip to the site. The roadway consisted of bike-trail-like roads with 45-degree turns, guard rails on both sides (sometimes) with a serious drop! Nicole was a little green by the time we arrived back at the camp! The homeowner prepared lunch for this group in dinner-size portions — rice and beans with chicken and some potato-like vegetable.
