First Day on the Job


Our first day in Anse La Raye for all the project teams. After breakfast, the teams headed off to town in the vans: Infant School (confusing name as it is K-2), Kiddies Homey Day Care (0-2 years), Preschool (ages 1-5), Primary School (grades 3-6 and ages 8-12), and  Secondary School (grades 8-12) . In the afternoon the SeaWall, Roving CareGivers and Health Clinic teams also traveled to Anse La Raye to begin work. The EarthBox team stayed at JJs, reviewed videos, with confidence that the boxes are in country and just need to be collected from Customs.

Team reports in the evening were detailed and spirited. The day was described as great, wonderful, outstanding, awesome and terrific.  Bud told us that: "We are engaged as short term volunteers in human and economic development" and reminded us that this will be a slow process. The highest of praise was Bud's concluding remarks that " I've been with many teams and this was, without question, the best first day I have seen."
