These are some pictures from Kali and Breanna. They will talk a bit about their experiences and what they are doing at their work site. Enjoy!
From Breanna:
So far i love Pittsburgh. When i first got here i thought there was going to be alot of gang violence. Then i noticed that its pretty quiet around here and people get along very well. When we got are roommates we were all quiet and didn't talk to each other. Now are room is the chat room. my bed is the service bed. if people don't have service on their phone they walk over to my bed and we start talking and they get service.
When we work at are work sight people get along so well. i met Abby my new friend. we clicked right away. we both LOVE COFFEE!!!!! we are always together at are work sight and have paint fights at time. we have a lot in common and we never run out of stuff to say. i met other people. Sarah is a horse lover and works at a horse stables, warren is amazing and loves music, and mark loves to play football and we play catch all the time together. we have a new game called toss Sarah's phone around. here phone is an indestructible phone.
We had to paint the outside of the house and we made new steps in the front and painted the kitchen and the front room. we still have to put a toilet in and put another coat on the kitchen. are home owner is very nice and he gives us a lot of water and makes sure we get lots of breaks. he tells us to stay inside when its hot out. he cares about us like we are his own children. im having alot of fun and making new friends.
From Kali:
Pittsburgh is a lot of fun. I like it here. I love the town. Its great! We drive around and every time we're in the van going anywhere I'm always with my face pressed against the window and being all excited to see everything.
On day one:
-Got to the project
-Met our homeowner
-And met our roommates
-And our work groups
On day two:
-We started working on the stairs which basically started crumbling whenever you just touched it.
-We started scraping paint off the outside of the house.
-Then we repainted it.
-We painted cement steps.
On day three:
-We scraped more paint and finished painting.
-We started doing interior work
-I was in the entry room.
-We scraped more paint.
-When we scraped paint the entire wall started coming off.
-So, we got a new job to do today!
