el dia numero

Hello!

We started out this break with a paint scraper! Today we went to an elderly woman's house to start reconstructing her home which was damaged from the weather. The work began with chipping off the rusted paint. Volunteers also participated in helping to remove steel window security bars. After brushing off the rust, we repainted them. In the post-lunch era, we cleaned up the work space, and headed back for more information sessions. After the information sessions came the best part of the day: dinner! Succulent and delectable vegetarian Jumbalaya with a side of kale and delicious succotash! By far one of the best vegetarian meals I have ever consumed. The vegetarian Jumbalaya was so good and rich that even one of our volunteers questioned if the chefs used real meat! (Thankfully they did not!) The chefs were very friendly and personable when we thanked them after their heavenly meal and said they were delighted that we loved their food so much! One of them even offered to write down a few recipes for me to take home which I will definitely will. More updates to come soon!
