The goals that the team decided to pursue during the stay were about the ground leveling, painting the walls of the meeting hall, and bringing white cement for the new buildings. During the work days at the school, the group also decided to go to a little shop, 20 minutes from the school, to buy extra materials to help with their work. At the end of their stay, the amazing team was able to complete the meeting hall, half of the ground leveling, and fill two rooms with cement.
