Today was the first day for the construction team in the new school site of Buen Pastor in San Pedro de Macoris. We arrived, full of anticipation, and ready to start work! Sister Jean Gabriel showed us the site and explained the tasks ahaead of us - build a wall here, demolish that floor there.... Luckily there were several local construction workers to help and guide us in our work. We took direction from them, and split ourselves into groups according to what we were best suited to do - there was painting to be done, and many different manual tasks. The morning was hot and the sun was high and bright. After lunch the clouds thankfully came and we found it much easier to work. At the end of the day, the cinder block walls were up, and much progress had been made on the painting of the fences around the Buen Pastor sites. Tomorrow we start on raising the path to the church up to sidewalk level, and start on the carpentry to make the false floor for the new building.
