All Aboard!!! Todos a bordo !!!

​Happy to report that we are sitting in the plane at Miami waiting to depart for Honduras. Luckily, the group of young men were able to be rebooked and are flying with us. Previously, they had flights for a 10:30 AM departure out of Miami. 

The reason these flights were originally booked separately is due to the limitations…..we could only book 6 tickets at a time. Young men were booked first (ticketed with Mr. Lipman), young women were booked a couple days later (ticketed with me). Surprised to find out a couple days later that the original flight that the young men were on was $800 more per person for the girls!!! So, in the interest of saving some money, girls and boys were booked separately. Girls scheduled at 12:58 pm. 

However, the fog in Miami delayed the young men so here we all are together aboard one flight. It all works out in the end. 

Special shout out thanks to our community partner, The Art Tatum Zone, and the directors Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney. Without ATZ and the Sweeney power couple, this trip is not possible.   

Please feel free to share this blog link with friends and family. I will post photos once I am on my laptop. Post any questions in the comments.

Nos alegra informarles que estamos en el avión en Miami esperando para partir hacia Honduras. Por suerte, el grupo de jóvenes pudo reprogramar su vuelo y volará con nosotros. Anteriormente, tenían vuelos que salían de Miami a las 10:30 a. m.

La razón por la que estos vuelos se reservaron originalmente por separado se debe a las limitaciones: solo podíamos reservar seis boletos a la vez. Los hombres jóvenes se reservaron primero (con el Sr. Lipman), y las mujeres jóvenes un par de días después (con mi boleto). Me sorprendió descubrir un par de días después que el vuelo original en el que iban los hombres jóvenes costaba $800 más por persona para las chicas. Así que, para ahorrar dinero, reservamos a las chicas y a los chicos por separado. Las chicas estaban programadas para las 12:58 p. m.

Sin embargo, la niebla en Miami retrasó a los jóvenes, así que aquí estamos todos juntos en un solo vuelo. Al final, todo salió bien.

Un agradecimiento especial a nuestro socio comunitario, The Art Tatum Zone, y a los directores, el Sr. y la Sra. Sweeney. Sin ATZ y la pareja Sweeney, este viaje no sería posible.

No duden en compartir el enlace de este blog con sus amigos y familiares. Publicaré fotos cuando esté en mi portátil. Si tienen alguna pregunta, publiquen en los comentarios.

Mixing Cement -- not an easy task ---- Mezclar cemento no es una tarea fácil

After lunch, we boarded a yellow school bus to drive to the work site. When we got there, we started digging the trenches -- workers were already there. They were breaking apart the 12-inch deep trench. The 40-inch holes were already dug -- nine total. This post focus is going to be on the cement mixing.... Axel and Kamryn were especially helpful in mixing cement. They were the sole mixers of cement. Here's the recipe -- as described to me by our master mixers: All of these items are lifted up to shoulder height and added to the mixer -- which is SUPER LOUD. First: one bucket and a half of water. Five gallon buckets. The water is gathered by hand from a "river" and carried back to the work site about 1/4 mile each way.  Next: Cement bag -- 46.5 kg -- 102 pounds -- into the mixer 1 five-gallon bucket of gravel/sand. Let it mix for a couple seconds in the loud mixer. Then, 4 buckets of gravel and 4 buckets of sand. All lifted to shoulder height and dumped in. That amount of...

Tuesday update -- Actualización del martes

Tuesday February 17 – at the work site all day – lunch break at the school/church   7 am: Breakfast 8:15 am: school bus ride to the site 8:45 am: arrive to the site 11:30-1 pm: lunch at the school -- see pictures of basketball and visiting with younger students. 1:30-5:45 pm: Finish at the worksite   Today’s main goal was to get all of the concrete done/poured – especially since we had the delay from yesterday (concrete machine breakdown – Mr. Lipman said “it’s got some faulty O-rings for the carburetor and this is causing oil to leak into the gas before it goes into the piston. All they need is some starter fluid.” The man was right, but humble, so the starter fluid took a while to appear and the delay set us slightly behind schedule for the start of this morning). But we ultimately finished the floor region.   Today’s secondary goal: trenching around the house for the step-up around the front/side of the house. The step-up trench was 12 inches wide and 12 inches deep an...
