Familias de Esperanza is a private organization that has been around since the mid 80`s. Before beginning work, they require that you go on a tour of the surrounding communities that they are helping to educate you on what exactly you are helping to better. The state of some of the schools and living conditions is pretty unbelievable. Some of the schools don`t even have a roof nevermind running water (or books). Tomorrow I will be going on a house visits with a social worker to check in on certain families to see how they are doing. I`m sure it`ll be pretty eye opening…
Didn’t I teach you the speed square trick? Or do you not have a speed square? Makes perpendicular cuts way more that +/- 25% of the time.
so you work here now?
What’s all the barbed wire?
Brian, Rod would be proud.
2 months down, 22 months to go.
Looking good man! Best of luck…
actually, the perpendicular cuts seem to be ok, its the 45`s that are a bit of a challenge.
I wouldn`t know though, I`ve just been assembling the panels. No cutting for me (yet).
Sounds like you are really getting involded with some great projects Bri
