Day 18: Tuesday, February 7th

Today I worked on the Earthbag project. This project is eventually going to be a community center in a small rural area outside of Pisco. We are also going to build a garden and a bridge that goes across the little creek. The reason it's called "earthbags" is because we get these bags and fill them with a mixture of dirt and sand and flyash, and that is what we build the center out of because its very flexible in case there's an earthquake.

We basically dug for 8 hours... lol. But it was actually quite fun and we got a good workout.

About Me

Hello! I will be in Pisco, Peru for about 6 months with the organization Pisco sin Fronteras volunteering to help rebuild the city after an 8.4 earthquake in 2007. I thought I would share my experiences and pictures from everyday with whoever wants to check it out!
