First CRC Service Team

This week we had a team here from First Christian Reformed Church in Illinois. The team made us about 8 park benches for our 3 ministry sites as well as grouting the floor in our new moms workshop. They also helped install the lighting and electrical outlet system seen above, which is going to let us have 8 sewing machines in our workshop, each having its own light and plug.
The team also did some maintenance in pulling out a section of brick pavers that had some serious damage and replacing them with new bricks. Keeping on with the destruction theme we got the team to cut off and break up a section of concrete that we needed removed as a change of plans was made.

One of our goals for this year as we wrap up construction at the Manchay Oasis care center, is to add more green to the property. This team helped out the cause by digging 3 new gardens and planting a big tree that one day will offer us lots of shade and about 25 other plants to brighten up our new park. Seen in the picture above are some of the park benches they made. Also not to forget the many painting jobs this team managed to do. Thank you First CRC team for all of your hard work. You guys got a mountain of work done and also helped raise money that will be used to put new window security on our new office building as well as buy tiles for our third house in Pachacamac. We here at Kids Alive Peru hope to see you again next year.
