¡Vamos a trabajar!

Our third day in Puerto Rico was our first day of service work with Global Works. We started our day off at 8 AM with a big breakfast of waffles, sausage, and eggs all together in our outside dining area. We then took off to the worksite in Vega Alta to begin work with Ángel, our construction expert, and to build an addition to a house in need of extra space. We then split into two groups: one making rebar for the skeleton of the house, and one digging out the foundation. We worked for a few hours and then broke for a homemade lunch made by Angel’s wife at his house. After lunch we went back to the Big Yellow House to relax for the rest of the day. We split in groups to go to the beach and later enjoyed a pizza dinner. We then enjoyed a bonding night with a large round of card games. We closed out the night with stargazing on the beach. Another beautiful day in the books in Puerto Rico.
