Dear Friends and Family,
Today was an awesome day! We woke up around 7am and headed towards breakfast by the lake. Unlike last night, we actually got to enjoy the beautiful scenery. We were told later that the lake is apparently one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, according to Yahoo Travel. Don´t worry ' we have lots of pictures ! After breakfast, we headed to the Mayan Familes office headquarters, learned more about the community,culture and finally learned how to make the stoves we would spend the entire day installing! We broke off into four teams and went to town building these stoves. It was an amazing experience for me. Honestly, I dont think Ill ever forget this day in my life. The houses we went into for the most part, and people we met epitomize local poverty in the region. The community members were extremely friendly and thankful for our services. I was extremely humbled to have met everyone that I met. Im really happy that we all made a difference in the lives of the homes we built the stoves in. Team Fuego (consisting of myself, Emily, TJ; Ishani, and our honorary member Rui) worked extremely hard. The worst injury we had today was Sam getting hurt by jumping on the trampoline, yeah true story, but all is good. There were some dangerous moments, not going to lie, but everyone had an awesome physically demanding workout and overall had a great time. I cant for all of you to see the pictures we took. The scenery, the cute kids we interacted with, the food we ate, and the car rides back and to the local villages sort of sum up the whole day. But hey, the night isstill young. The time is now 10:10 pm, and we are heading out into the local town after showering after a hards day of work and dinner.
Thats all for now.
Loving you and missing you all.
Cheers,
H
