After
waking up to our respective alarm clocks at seven this morning, we had our
group meeting where Kathleen shared her thought of the day and Ellie read her
journal. Artie later drove us to Oak Hill School where we met the owners of the
building who filled us in on the history of the school and what they were
trying to accomplish with the help of the volunteers. Then we were given a tour
of the school by Adam, our amateur but friendly tour guide. After our brief
tour of the building, we were divided into teams to accomplish different tasks.
Our group started by sorting and then carrying forty pound boxes of tile from
the basement to the room we would be tiling. When all of the boxes were in
their place, we took a break for lunch which lasted much longer than expected.
After
eating, we proceeded back to the room we were supposed to work on. We
experienced several “complications” with the room measurements, but sorted them
out after an hour or so. We got about two rows done, and then came home.
Everybody is looking forward to working more today and to accomplishing the
task they started.
