After two very full days of bussing, we awoke this morning in our motel in San Diego and boarded the bus once more to drive across the Mexican border.
You hear of the poverty here all the time but it is quite another thing to see it with your own eyes. On the San Diego side you see beautiful big homes and right on the other side of the border fence is shack after shack. The colors of the buildings are bright, in stark contrast to the futures of many of the people here. And yet they are still very happy.
We went right to the area where we will start building tomorrow. We met the families and broke ourselves into three work groups - one for each family.
We are so excited to get started! Our bellies are now full and we just need a good night’s sleep tonight and then the real adventure begins!
