Manual Labor's Not My Thing

A group of volunteers from American Express and the Philippine Daily Inquirer came to help revamp our buildings and the empty lot next door. The Inquirer painted our classrooms and the exterior of the multipurpose building, while American Express worked on the garden in the empty lot. Before the volunteers came, we were in charge of prepping the ground. Everyone helped out... the kids, the guys from church, the teachers (that includes me). It was 3 full days of clearing trash, glass, gravel, cement, and leveling the ground. My body was sore after it all, but all worth it, because the garden is gorgeous and we spent a lot of time laughing in the process :)
