Any day a team arrives, a transformation happens at
PID. The morning before arrival, the
staff prepares rooms where the team will stay, the cooks buy (lots) more food
from the market to make tasty dishes throughout the week, and final touches are
put on plans for the upcoming work project.
Then, the minute the team arrives; the energy on the base increases
dramatically. Today was no different.
The team from Maine (mostly recent high school graduates
from Cheverus in Maine) arrived today at around 4pm after a flight delay. As soon as they got off the bus they got
situated in their rooms, got a tour of the compound, and set to work organizing
the supplies they brought with them from the US office. After that, the team enjoyed a dinner of
rice, beans, chicken and veggies before heading to the roof for their
orientation meeting. It’s about ten o’clock
now, everyone’s relaxing or headed to bed after a long day, tired but safe and
sound. Excitement is high for the
upcoming week of painting and construction work at the town of Canaan!
