Yesterday, students worked hard in the village as part of their Third World experience. Four "countries" completed several work projects and were able to go to market, sell their wares or receive payment for their labor, and receive enough money to purchase food for their dinner.
The Philippine house was loved! The Philippine team cleaned underneath their house, built a new firewood rack and weeded the garden area.
The Bolivia team planted corn in the garden prepared by Week One! They also started work on terraces that future teams will complete.
Uganda made bricks that will be used on future projects and also started a micro enterprise by making furniture out of bamboo.
Nepal worked on a new garden by Guatemala. They hauled rocks, broke up the soil and started constructing beds.

After a day of gathering water, tending fires, working on micro enterprises and laboring on their lands, everyone enjoyed a worship time when we got to hear Isabel, a SIFAT Practicum graduate, talk about her life in Guatemala.
Between eating and worship, beautiful music filled the Village...the Philippines family found a use for the old bamboo they found!
