On December 13th, the foundation of a new house was started by a group of students from Ohio State University. They spent the first week of their Christmas vacation working with us. How awesome is that?
Although digging a foundation isn't glamorous, it is very necessary. The foundation holds the weight of the entire house and the group did a great job.
Their group leader Jordan, did a nice job getting the group together. The students didn't know each other before the trip, but at the end they seemed to be great friends. They even performed a rap for us that told us about their week here in Mount Pleasant. It was great!
I also learned that Jordan had spent the summer working in Haiti building houses in Cite Solei with Haiti Outreach Ministries. This is the same group and place where I had worked last January. So, it was a small world moment for me.
Here are some pictures that show the progress that was made that week.

Currently building has stopped while Kate enjoys a much needed vacation, but should resume mid January. So look for more updates then!
