The
group size for this trip will be 20 - 25 people.
We will be working with local people in a construction
project, and will also be spending time each day
with children in a Bible school program. Prior construction
experience is not essential.
We will be working on construction tasks at the
nearby Lemoa Public School. We may also do some
work at the orphanage
across the street.
We will have planned activities with the local children
in the afternoons at the Lemoa elementary school.
We will also spend time at the John Wesley School
in nearby Santa Cruz.
