When we woke up in the morning and we stepped outside, we realized where we were. We were in a place that was less fortunate than what we are used to. We realized that we really do have an impact on these kids and what we do and what we say really means alot to them. We had the privelege of going to Rio 3 and we were digging in a six foot hole to make the foundation for the doctors office, dentist office, and pharmacy. And also, at the same time, another group of Southbrookers working on the giant water tank (and when we say giant, we are
talking HUGE!!!) on top of a six foot concrete table. After we ripped off all the metal bands holding the water tank in place, we all pulled together as one to shove the enormous water tank off the cement ledge and into the dark abyss. After the water tank was on the ground, we rolled it all over campus to try and find an appropriate place to store it. We were unsuccessful so we put it on the roof!!! Then some of us decided to jump in on the kids craft making fun. We made a lot of bracelets and gave them piggyback rides. It was one of the most amazing experiences of our lives.
