Paraguay team arrives!

On Monday, we received a team from our affiliate in Paraguay.  They will be here for a week, learning about Habitat in the United States and also working alongside our affiliate building homes for families that were affected by the floods of 2013, helping out with regular construction and at the Restore.  All 12 volunteers arrived safe late Sunday night and were delivered to their host homes.

With Monday being their first full day here, we kept it pretty light.  They had a tour of our service area, meeting with the SVVHFH staff, orientation as to what the week is going to look like, quick stop for ice cream and back to their host homes to spend the night as they wish.  Construction starts tomorrow, and goes until Friday.  We also have a lot of other activities planned for them so they get the most out of their trip here and to really see what it is we do in and with our community.

Here are some pictures from Day 1:

Look forward to continued daily updates while the team is here, and feel free to follow the blog for when we go to Armenia next month!
