The team had another full day in Africa. They broke into two teams. One team went back to the school and taught classes while the second team finished the bridge. Nick said it was a big deal for the village to have this bridge as it will make a big difference during the rainy system.
They even put up a plaque thanking the St. Marks team for their work.
The students had a great time with the kids. They have been teaching English and math classes.
It will be very hard to say goodbye to the children tomorrow. Nick said their is a farewell celebration planned that will be very emotional.
After teaching and buiding the team set out for more home visits. The group helped with some of the chores like shelling peas, cooking and caring for animals.
The team is having a great time but are pretty tired. It is a wonderful experience but draining both physically and emotionally.
Great post! Thank you for keeping us up to date! I know this is such a blessing to the team and the folks they are helping. The post made me almost cry thinking about having to leave the folks they have met. WOW.
