Day two at the worksite. A TON of progress was made. All the fence posts are up, we got most of the long side with cross-pieces and slats done. Several of the planter boxes have been completed.
The large room paint is done!!!!!!! We had some great detail painters doing trim work. The darker color in the kitchen area is mostly done and tomorrow we will finish it. We bought cabinets to replace the rickety crafts cabinets they had bolted to the wall. Those will be put together tomorrow.
A couple of interesting side projects sprang up. A group of girls made wooden “holders” for the small oxygen cylinders that were stacked in a corner. And another couple of students helped with a project of setting up binders in which client records will eventually be stored.
MANY students are discovering gifts and talents they didn’t know they possessed and learning new skills. They are learning teamwork, perseverance, improvising, and empathy in addition to physical skills.
