Our AmeriCorps teams have come together the past week for a mini project. This was a playground build for Savoy elementary School. Some teams were at the build all week, building the playground from the ground up. My team had the chance to join everyone at the end of the week. It was great to see the progress that was made. The weather has been getting hotter each week here in D.C., reaching in the 100s. I miss the Boston weather! I will never say it is humid again when in New England. The crew members of my team, though hot and tired, enjoyed that we were doing something that directly benefited their community.
Kat, Erik, and I worked on building a bridge and also the ceiling below steps. The ceiling isn't something anyone will ever really notice or see, but it was still a good feeling when we finished. That's why we danced on it with our steel toes.
It felt good to be out in the sun working construction again. We haven't had a project like this since New Orleans with Habitat for Humanity. I missed it!! Most of the day was spent supervising the crew members, making sure that they had work to do and were safely working.
I enjoyed being handed projects to complete, such as the ones with Kat and Erik. Even in the heat, it was still a good time.
The best part is knowing that we were building something that will hopefully benefit the children in the community.
