Glad to report that we are finally done hauling all those bricks up to the third floor. Now we have started hauling half full buckets of sand up to the third floor. And that was all before lunch.
After lunch included working on rebarring, I only think that´s how it´s spelled. I worked on cutting the metal, bending metal into squares, twisting smaller peices of metal around bigger peices, and trying to avoid any serious injuries. Thankfully there were no serious injuries although there were a few scrathes here and there.
To the people that want to see pictures and videos of the stuff here it is kind of difficult to deal with the internet cafe´s so I am going to make one big post with both pictures and videos when I get home in about a week and a half.
Apparently everything is going fine with the medical team and nothing too serious to report. And there is some news Richard Sr. is taking out an eyeball tomorrow. I so wish that I could see that. And one last little bit of news for the medical team: they have stolen away one person that was supposed to work on the building team.
The general agreement here is that the food is really, really, really good. I would love to know how to cook as well as the people here.

Tell dad (Richard Sr., Dr. Griffin...) you want to go watch him do surgery. He probably will let you. Are you working at Cruz Roja?
ReplyDeleteWow sounds like all is going very well there and the work team is hard at it. Who has Pop-Pop Richard stolen from the work team?
ReplyDeleteSee if you can get some recipes from the staff at the pinocho and you can send them some from home when you return.
Hoping the weather is good and the work is satisfying.

Hill, I see why your mom is so proud of you! What an exciting adventure. To be able to help so much must be very rewarding. I'm enjoying following your blog. Anne Coffey
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to read your comments. I am concerned that you are posting after work at 3pm and 4pm. Short days, huh! Just kidding because I can feel the groans. Hope you are realizing that your presence has significance over the pace of the work,so smile and enjoy the moment. Love to all the Griffin girls (and boy) and to all the team. GMO

ReplyDeleteHi Hillary this is Kim from your mom's work. I'm enjoying reading your blog! How did the eyeball removal go? Did you get to see it? Sounds like you are working hard. At least the food is good. Have fun and be safe.

Hey CHALLENGER girl! This is a really awesome thing you're doing this summer -- not everybody gets a chance to do something like this! Hope you wrote it up for Ms. Koperski to approve for community service hours (don't worry if you didn't, I'm sure she'll approve it retroactively if you didn't). And keep everything in some kind of electronic portfolio so we can all see it when you get back. Looking forward to seeing you in August -- be safe! - Dr. D.
