The Ramp Gang
Saw the results of a bus - car crash on the road to Humbalo this morning. It was a the very same spot we saw a crash yesterday. Our driver now slows down at this curve.
We went straight to the ramp and began our work. I´ll leave out the details, but we worked from 10 am to 2 pm. In that time we put cement along both sides of the ramp and a line of cement up the middle of the ramp.
At 2 we were told we needed to go up to the school because there were politicians coming to see the results of us working with the students and teachers at the school. It turned out that the meeting lasted until nearly 5 and by then the bus was there to take us back to Baños.
Tomorrow we arrive at 10 am again and work until 12 or so. Hope we can get a LOT of cement poured!
Could not add photos so I´ve put 3 photos on a webpage, hope it works. The text of the third photo has an error. The last person on the back row is Diego, a gentle giant. Size 15 shoes. Both Diego and Jorge turned out to be fantastic helpers. Diego could shovel cement longer than me and Jorge was so enthusiastic he ran with the wheelbarrow full of rocks.
