First Hard Day at Work

The '08 Spring Work Team from the US (representing Minnesota and Michigan) arrived at the Hope Center around midnight of the 24th.  Today was the first hard day at work, and I'm sure there will be plenty more in the next couple of weeks.  The ladies have started teaching the IVA girls sewing and the men are working on the concrete projects.  Check out the slideshow!  More to come...

  1. Love the pictures! But it drives me nuts that I can't figure where some of them are from. I am amazed at all the changes each year! What building are the last 3 pictures in the slide show from?

  3. Naomi,
    Ask and ye shall receive...

    As you could probably tell, many of the first pictures were of the re-creation of the patio on the side of the annex. We will rebuild it...bigger, stronger, faster....sorry about the 6 Million-Dollar Man reference. Actually is will be great; we are making it bigger with only 1 staircase and even an awning. The interns and teams will love it.

    The pics at the end are the steps of the medical building. We tore out the sides and the steps and we'll re-pour the whole thing a little smaller.

  6. Slick,
    I remember the class and Mark doing his impression of the guy on the filmstrip that did the voice of Thoreau. Oh wait...was it those guys? What were they called? Emerson, Thoreau, et al.... A return to basics and simplicity, Walden Pond kind of philosophy, right?
