Bringing Home the Bacon!

Whenever I hear the word pig, I immediately think BACON! Well this blog post has nothing to do with bacon other than the fact that I wished I had it right now.

Anyways, we have been working with a group called Albino Peacemakers. This group works to make the lives of albinos better. Albinos have many health problems, they are often discriminated against.We asked them if there is anything we could do for them. The director named Martha said that they have a pig pen, but it doesn't have a roof. The pigs are being used to generate money for the group. So we wrote the proposal, bought the materials, and helped put the roof on.  

This project was one of the quickest ones yet. It took us a day to buy all the wood, tin sheets and nails. It took us another half a day to assemble the roof. As volunteers we were able to hammer, saw, and carry the material to the builder. An electric saw was donated to us from Home Depot in Toole, Utah. We were able to use this saw to help speed up the work of the roof building. Emmanuel, the builder, loved it so much he went to work to beautify the entire pig pen by sawing off extra pieces of wood. He had the biggest grin the entire time. It was a lot of fun to help build the roof for the pigs and we were able to make the builders day.
