I'm not sure how often I'll be able to do this but I wanted to give you an update after our 1st day of work here.
I'll post some pictures when I get back but I'll do my best to describe it to you for a minute while the band practices for tonight. For the last 40 miles of our journey here we were on back winding roads that took us deep into the mountains to Welch. It's honestly picturesque - set deep in a canyon of wooded cliffs - a small little town with two roads but only one main one.
We spent today revitalizing the community through cleaning up. There was no complaining despite cleaning a river where 60% of the surrounding houses dump their sewage (of couse they were in protective gear). Spirits are great and the trip is going well. More of the same for the rest of the week. I'll be in touch when I can
