Good evening from El Hogar. The weather continues to cooperate rain during night warm and dry during the day, thank goodness.

Day begins with breakfast 0620 hours, after breakfast outside meeting with children. Nancy, Mary, Neal and Betsy second day teaching. The day was a lot harder than the first, the students were excitable, Betsy had a free for all we both the teacher and Neal stepped out, but managed to prevent injuries.

The play ground crew continued with digging holes for post, Ethan got blisters within 5 minutes, he forgot to wear gloves, he learns quick. Gill was happy when they asked him to weld, but got a surprise when asked to cut angle iron into short pieces with a hacksaw, good thing he has strong arms. Bruno, Ethan and Gill painted wood that was routed and sanded while Chief sanded a lot of wood.

Supper 1730 hours beans and plantains with the children. Time with the children from dorm 2 playing games and teaching English to some. The children are very loving and share a lot of hugs.
