Day 1-- #2 Fleetwood

TGOF and I, Cha Cha, spent most of our day laying ceramic tile on the floors at #2 Fleetwood. While we are exceptionally gifted, this was tedious work--almost forty minutes to lay one row of tiles. Most of the dads on on our site joked around with us, saying we could skip college and take our talents as a tile laying team to the next level. One dad, Mr. Kuehner, enlightened us with a new perspective when he stated, "Could you girls imagine waking up every morning and doing this for 30 years?" We are fortunate enough to go to almost any college and pursue any career, but obviously the people who will live in this house will not have as many opportunities handed to them. Craig was telling us that a family with three kids was looking to buy our house, and its nice to know that all of the work we're doing will help provide a stable home for a family despite their low income. Having a stable home will drastically change their lives--maybe giving them a place to do homework will allow them to get scholarships and pursue the high levels of education we all take for granted. TGOF and I had a lot of fun, but the best part of our day was definitely realizing that our small efforts can have a huge impact. Peace and blessins, Kara and Maria
