The Work Project
Okay, so this is where the house will be built. First these rocks have to go down the very muddy hill The children join our line --even in the heavy rain When the sun shines, they form their own line Meanwhile, the foundations are dug
Taking a break on the path from the church to the clinic Yanette's lap is popular with the little children. Workers and students alike are glad to sit down   and watch the children playing clapping games Time to start work again. 
Next come bags of sand (go Juana!) Everyone helps (this is Betty and ). . . even the very littlest (this is Olny). . .
 
Pedro Edin
and they keep on going (this is Jose Walter)! 
Some more rocks with Rob at the end piling The complete line has more Hondurans than students. Finished! Rocks & sand are all down
The foundations take shape Even after a little landslide we moved all this  down this hill  and then down the final hill
The finished house will look like this (rear view), and finally, like this (front view). it will look out over this view.  The school is behind it to the left, the clinic is up one more level (you'll hardly see the roof from this angle), and behind that, more hill, and many more houses.


Play
     
The little boys line up for photographs, pose sweetly, and not so sweetly! The girls pose too,
  and play endless clapping games
