On our second day of work in Kentucky, we
split into small groups to continue our work from yesterday. In the morning Megan,
Grace, Natalie, Mia, and Ellen went back to the Waterfront restaurant and
worked with the kitchen manager, Jerome, to help prepare for the opening. The
Waterfront was bought by its current owners in December and was about to open
when the floods came and set them back for months. After a lot of hard work,
however, the Waterfront is ready to open for an Outside cookout on Thursday. To
prepare for it, we washed and cleaned chairs, tables, and the general deck area.
We are so excited to be able to celebrate their re-opening on Thursday. Tune in
to see more on our work with the Waterfront!
While our first group worked at the Waterfront, Brandon,
Aubree, Cata, and Jess worked with homeowners in the area. We worked to remove
the wooden siding of an old house that was no longer in use. That recycled
siding was then used to refurbish another home in that area. While using a lot
of hammers, crowbars, and a couple ladders, the group was able to remove the siding
off of the entire right side of the house, as well as a portion of the front.
To conclude our day of service, we decided to take a Hike
through the Red River Gorge. Being able to reflect on the beauty of the nature
around us was both refreshing and re-energizing! We finished the night with
some ice cream and Trivia at the Skybridge Station, a local restaurant in Kentucky.
Although we didn’t get all the Kentucky-related trivia, we tried our best and
had a good time!
Tune in tomorrow for more fun and service!
With love,
Grace and Aubree.
