Day 15 - Excursion Day :)

After a week of hardwork, the group had their well deserved rest in the island of Dos Palmas.

Dos Palmas is located among a group of islands and sandbars in Honda Bay, northeast of Puerto Princesa. They had a 45 minute boat ride from Sta. Lourdes Wharf to the resort.

The participants step on their private island paradise.

They enjoy the perks of the day tour by snorkeling, kayaking, playing volleyball and an eat all you can buffet lunch.

It rained a bit in the afternoon but the fun never ends.

It's a day of relaxation and recreation. Tomorrow promises a much challenging work week and everybody is up for the pressure.

Day14 - First Week of the Building Phase just ended...

The aggressive schedule continues to up the pressure.

Fortunately, the weather cooperated very well today, increasing the chances that we will be able to finish and position all the reinforcement bars and the form of the whole site.

It's finally time to use the cement mixer.! :-)

Pouring of cement is not an easy task!!!

Teamwork and cooperation, as always, is critical.

Members of the Rotary Club of City of Puerto Princesa dropped by for the day to have a look of the site, and to take part in the building of the park.

The girls from Russia strike their version of a Charlie's Angels pose.

The pouring of cement continued into the afternoon.

A very productive day... a very productive week...

Everyone has earned a well deserved rest tomorrow - we hear they're going to Dos Palmas for the day to recharge.

Day13 - The Hard Work goes on and on.....

It's another day of work and the goal is to finish all the footings and trenches and to place the reinforcement bars in their designated position. Since it rained yesterday the site was a bit mocky so digging the land is going to be harder.

There are still a lot of areas to level and critical points to consider.

A single task cannot be complete without another pair of hands.

Heart shaped --gravel???--

The inner circle of the site needs to be in its proper shape and form.

More materials for the completion of the construction kept coming.

Happy shoes because of the mocky land. :)

Tired but very happy for the day's accomplishment.

Let's wait and see what's instore for them tomorrow.
