Four Projects

After a great night´s sleep, we had a very educational day. It began with an orientation at the mission telling us about their philosophy and different projects. For more information on the San Lucas Mission visit their website at http://www.sanlucasmission.org/. In the afternoon, we had the opportunity to tour the city and see the different projects in action. The four main projects are a Women´s Center, a health clinic, a coffee mill, and a reforestation center. It was so neat to see what we had been hearing about actually taking place in the city. Tonight we had our first experience of the rainy season...it poured for 5 minutes straight...and then it stopped. It was a great beginning, and now we are headed back to the hotel to hang up our wet clothes. Check out our pictures below!

Cyprus trees are the favored tree for reforestation because they grow the quickest
