For our last day of work, we split off into two groups to finish up tasks that we have started throughout the week. The first group consisted of Mia, Jessica, and Cata. They worked with Marty and Ed on the shed in Berea. They were able to finish putting the roof on the shed and they did the siding!
The second group consisted of Ellen, Aubree, Grace, Natalie, Megan, and Brandon. They completed the work that was done on the Habitat homeowner's house. They power washed the house and put a second coat on the porch, side stairs, and the shed!
Around 3pm, we all reconvened at Memorial Park to have dinner with board members and a Habitat family. It was nice to meet the family who would receive a Habitat house which was also the location where we built the shed. It was also great to talk to the board members about Habitat!
This is our last day of work, and we will be heading out tomorrow. While it is sad to go, this is an experience that we will all remember and continue to reflect on throughout our lives. We hope to bring back the sense of community and the willingness to help others to Erie with us!
With love,
Ellen
