Drew & Ian Helping Habitat in San Juan

Drew and Ian work construction with Habitat for Humanity in San Juan de la Maguana. Together they are helping to build a home for Drew’s host mother, a single mother with a young son. Drew and Ian report getting very sweaty and hot working in the sun, mixing cement and carrying blocks. It is hard physical labor, and both Drew and Ian are dedicated workers.

Over lunch, with Hannah and Tera, Drew and Ian shared stories from their arrival and work in San Juan. One of the highlights for both students has been getting to know their new host families. Ian’s host mother is a judge and a lawyer. After lunch we enjoyed some Helados Bon ice cream

The photos include pictures of the house they are constructing as well as a house across the lane sorely in need of repair.
