hotel on my iPod. When i vet settled in for the long haul with a
proper key board i will tell about the the last couple days.
A lot has happened in the few days i have been here. Right now i'll
just hit the highlights. I am filling a unique role while I'm here.
The rest of the group, and those that come on the other Mexico trips
that Family to Family, spend their time offering their manual labor to
build cement floors for the poor here. The people of Fuentezuelas are
remarkable because instead of settiling for houses thrown together
from carboard and sheetmetal, the build houses with cement and brick
and cinderblocks. However, because of their poverty they can only
afford to build to single room at a time. The may spend 5-6 years
saving money and building room by room until the house is finished.
They don't have "extra" money to save. The money that they scrape
together is from sacrficing comforts like going without meat for a year.
I'm wiped. Bedtime.
