Projects! ¡Proyectos!

'Tis the season for spring cleaning! Take a look at some of the projects we got going on this spring:

Project Corn Walls

We have a room! As mentioned in my previous post, Mick and I have got ourselves a room now. The make over process involved: extreme window and floor cleaning, new paint called “yellow corn,” and better lighting.





Top Guate Chef

Also mentioned in my previous post, Mickey and I have been cooking for ourselves each night. Because I’ve either lived in (1) the dorms or (2) my mama’s house, I actually don’t have too much experience with the whole “making food for myself” idea. But we’ve been having a good time with it. Below is evidence from pizza night. Because we don’t have an oven in our house, we built a double-boiler make-shift pizza cooker.

Construya casa

Say what?! We built a house! No, no, not Mickey and I, we’ve got a room. Transitions
built a house with the help of a few Rotary members and church supporters. In October we got some property donated to us, and we’ve been slowly preparing this property so we can one day house all of our programs in one grand facility. Just yesterday, we completed the finishing touches – doors and windows in, electricity finished, and floors polished! For the rest of the year, this house will be used by two of our clients in need accessible housing. The plan for next year is to move some of our offices to this space. We are so proud of this house!

Operation Color Power

Thanks to a motivated volunteer, and some money from a visiting church group, we just finished painting a mural in our Special Education classroom. The end result turned out B-E-E-U-T-I-F-U-L! This was my first mural project, and I’ve been sold on the power of a little color.
