We want to give a huge THANK YOU to the Brookhaven (MS) work team that came on their spring break to help us.
Most of the men on their team and some of the youth guys made huge improvements to the Guest House exterior, while the rest of the youth team worked hard in the village and around campus.
What did they do?
- Some of the girls retied the rope bridge to make it more enjoyable and safer. Thanks girls! Those blisters from unknotting and reknotting those ropes was worth it!
- How much bamboo and cane did you replant? Talk about digging their hearts out! The team moved cane in the Global Village to shield the bridge from view and create a pathway border. Then, if that wasn't enough, they replanted 20-30 ft. yellow bamboo between the shop and Quonset hut.
- More digging....new steps from the cafeteria patio to the creek were started. (By the way, they're finished and look amazing!).
- Hauled wood. Three truck loads of debris were removed from the Global Village
- Basically, this team worked hard the entire weekend to help improve the SIFAT campus. All of the L&S teams this summer will benefit from their work, but already, visitors are enjoying their hours of labor.
