Sweat equity meets lasting impact on Day Two in Abaco! The Pella Christian Winterim IMPACT team made progress on a new home and shared time reading with wonderful kids at Central Abaco Primary School. Discover the mutual, lasting impact on both the community and the team members.
Day Two continued onto the worksite and by this point many of the team members had their assigned roles identified and were able to continue with their work on the house. Several members of the crew grabbed rollers and paint and got right to work painting the exterior soffit and fascia.
Other members were working to ready the home for Tomar. A lot of time was spent doing other types of work like porch ceilings, painting doors, debris pick-up, and various other jobs.
A few members of our team had the opportunity to go with Carrie Veenstra to the school where she works (Central Abaco Primary School), spending time working with children reading and working with letters and their sounds. Our group noticed how respectful and engaged the kids were and genuinely happy to be there.
After cleaning up the worksite and finishing up at the school, both groups were able to meet up for some delicious local sweet drinks at The Drink Machine.
We drove back to camp and cleaned up for supper, where another group of Many Hands supporters arrived for supper and introductions to Camp Abaco. We finished the day up with our Impact sharing and discussion. We all realized not only are we making an impact on the community of Abaco, but the community is making an impact on each of us.
