Washington Groups!

This week we have three groups from the state of Washington; Central Washington, Seattle University, and Western Washington University! 63 people total in the Posada and it's great!!

We just got done playing some soccer with all three groups, the staff, and some friends! Did a round robin sort of game when the other team scores your team is out and another one switches in!

One group is working at Guadalupe Lopez's house working on getting the roof ready to pour (hopefully Friday)! I've been working at Teresea & Armando (and Lucia)'s house digging a large hole to get ride of all the trash in the ground so the house is built on solid ground! We also have more of the foundation built up!
Here are some pictures of the work I've been doing this week!
 Last night I went to La Ninas, an all girl's orphanage here in Tijuana that is run by nuns, with the Central Washington Group.

Tonight I went to the border with the Central Washington group before the soccer game. All along the fence (along the beach and near town) there are quotes, reactions and art about the border. Farther down there are hundreds of crosses for those who have died trying to cross the border.

 Here you can see how deep the hole we were digging trash out of was, the group is also pointing to a microwave we found in the pile! We also found: a toy dog, two baby bouncy seats, part of a matress, a lot of shoes, and toys. Last weeks group (Wooster!!) found a typewriter and a satelite dish!

Check back soon for another update!
