Beti, far left with her 2 daughters and Tim Smith.  Beti is in the co-op that Habitat helped found.  She is on site to bring us lunch, and her daughters were home from school because of the rain earlier.


One of Beti's daughters is wearing a Habitat shirt that reads, "A world where everyone has a decent place to live".


Zack Meyer and Jodi Davis sifting material to be used to make the soupy concrete that is poured into the cement blocks.  It's called chispa and pronounced "cheese-pa".  The rocks are set aside for possible use in concrete later.


Oswaldo and Zack Meyer.  Oswaldo knows Jim Hack from a previous trip.  His sign says that he offers computer lessons to anyone in the neighborhood as well as English, which he taught himself with the help of a continuous parade of Habitat volunteers that go right by his house - which is not a Habitat house.  His hours are posted, but he says they are really just a joke to attract attention.  Nonetheless, he really will help anyone with computers and English.  His English was quite good!
