Hola todos!
My name is Hannah, I am a sophomore at the College of Wooster and this is my second trip with Esperanza! Tijuana is an amazing city, with amazing people and that's why I decided to come back. Today was our second day of work and while we finished the top of a house yesterday, today we started at the base of a house digging a foundation. Many precautions were taken in the process of many people swinging pick axes in a very small space, I promise. Digging in Tijuana is a strenuous task, since most of the ground is clay. Needless to say, most of us were extremely tired by an hour of digging and pick axing, but it was all worth it when we were rewarded with a traditional Mexican lunch made by the woman of the neighborhood we were working in. After eating an amazing lunch, some people which included intestine soup (cow or pig maybe?), we got back to work digging a 68'' trench for the foundation of our home owners new home. It might be hard work, and sometimes a bit dangerous, but it is all worth it to know you are playing a part in giving a family a new home to make many memories in. As a group we are all blessed to meet these amazing families that we work with.
Adios Amigos!
-Hannah
