Thought of the day - Jean: "Live now. Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again."

Journal Michelle:

For those of us at CASEM, Sue Mary Ann and myself, we had a very exciting start of the day. When we arrived there were several monkeys looking for food. The owner of the grocery store was putting out his fruit for sale which attracted the animals> I bought 3 bananas and literally handed a banana to each one. It was amazing! They sat on the roof while they ate and everyone took photos.

The rest of the day consisted of changing prices from dollars to colones. I did speak with a man from Pennsylvania who was with an elder hostil group.

The group at Cebadilla wire brushed more walls of the building next to the school. Jean painted the door to the lunchroom. A couple of boys backed up into the wet paint by accident. In the afternoon, Elvin’s daughter, Elliet, told the crew it was too windy to paint so they started to shovel and more dirt to another area.

After work, the group from Cebadilla came to CASEM to shop. Some of us had coffee and pastries across the street at Stella’s Bakery.
