A Day of Work

After their very brief stay, the PC Immersion Group left today to return home to Providence College for a few days. Although they were only here for two full days, the group took advantage of every moment they had here at LCS. A little before 7:00 AM, we said goodbye to them as they all piled into two trucks.

Once the group left, the remaining Volunteers and staff members on campus began a long day of work. Next to the wall that the PC Group helped to construct, we needed to a dig a trench for plumbing purposes. In addition to other projects around the campus, all of the Volunteers worked around 7 hours today outside in order to ensure that all necessary work was completed. With many scrapes, bruises, and new calluses, at around 4:00 in the afternoon we all finished for the day. Even though it was a lot of work and I am a little sore, I definitely felt a sense of accomplishment looking at the completed trench.

After all of that work we were all able to shower and relax. Once we all had dinner, we headed over to the Moynihan’s house to watch the movie Django. In the context of Haiti and its own history of slavery, Django was an interesting and informative film to watch.

Right now we are all getting ready for bed. We are all excited to finally rest after the exhausting day and gear up for our early morning trip to Mass.
