We arrived on site, along with positive weather and spirits.
The site as we arrived ,untouched...
The children of Slovo Park greeted us with smiles.
The students a bit overwhelmed... " Where do we start ? "
Clearing of the site got off to a better note with the incentive of some shade.

While the students were busy clearing the site, the children were going about their day- playing on their version of a "swing". Creative little thinkers!!!
Meanwhile the boys were doing something a little more risky...These kids are fearless.

The students getting the hang of it.
Ricardo really getting into it.
The existing truck on the site that the design was formed around.
The boys "thinking " that it would be easy to move that rock. Travis " C'mon Reynard I think I can do it". Reynard " haha, I dont think so Travis ".
Digging of the trenches for the main slab just about complete.
Melissa cleaning up the last of the dirt.
Ricardo taking some time off to play with the kids .

Some of the community members joined us to help clear the site. ( They also proved to have a lot more strength than us.)
The site at the end of Day 2-trenches dug and site cleared. It was a lot more work than any of us expected but seeing the difference in the site was worth it.
