On Tuesday we had our second and last work day. the group that I was in was in charge of the house we were staying in and me and Emily were in charge of raking all of the leaves around the house which at first seemed like a ton but it actually wasn’t that bad and we got done with it before our work day was ever over. The whole group had such a positive attitude and I think that’s why we got done so fast. it was a fun time working and getting to know the teachers and other kids in our group even more. When we had finished out lawn we went to the house across the street and began helping in their yard.  As we were working one of the kids in the house next door came out of his house and started taking pictures of us because he hadn’t seem people do that before. We began talking to him and just learned more and more about him. It was a lot of fun to talk to the people in the community and not just the people in our group, we were truly building community.
