Junior Journey so far has been a great experience. For a week we have been helping a community fix around their church in Hermano Pedro. The work was hard but the result was breath taking. During these days a few Junior Journey students and I went to San Pedro and helpedconstruct a home that was burned down. I felt sad about the situation and wanted to help. Walking to the burnt area and seeing what was left to the home was horrible. But what struck me the most was that the family wasn’t showing a hint of sadness. We helped take out the ash from the area where we would help rebuild the home. We worked for a few hours and when it was time to leave, the family members were sad.The next day we helped with the construction of the home where we dug a hole in the ground to put huge logs in. Those logs were the foundations of the home. It was a difficult challenge. After helping out, we went home feeling satisfied. I can’t imagine how long it would take them to construct the home. At the end of the day I felt pleased to help a family in need.
