Work Week

After two flights and a four hour bus ride yesterday, today Caleb and nineteen other Concordia HS students were heading into a remote village on the south western border of China and Myanmar. They will spend the next week there helping to complete the installation of a water system for the village that up until now has had no running water. Most of their time will be spent digging trenches and laying PVC pipe for the water lines to homes. The villagers, who have started this water project with the help of a charity, will be showing the students how to use the tools and directing their work, along with cooking all the meals for them. The students will also visit the local school and possibly hike to the water source.

A real cross-cultural experience. Don't think we will be hearing from Caleb this week, but I'm hoping that he's taking lots of pictures that he can share here later. :-)
