Our Epic Quest Begins

Hey guys, it’s Aaron. Yesterday, we flew into Saigon from Singapore. And Julian’s dad, Mr. Julio Rosales, decided to surprize us all by showing up personally to fly us there! It was one of the smoothest flights I’ve been on in ages, so hats off to him. The first night in Saigon was uneventful, yet it did give us a glimpse into Vietnamese cuisine, and of how the city is like. This morning, we got up very early, at about 3am to catch the 5am flight to where we are now. Today, we had our first glimpse and our first shift on working at the work site. I must say personally that I am pleased with what we managed to do in the few hours we had at our disposal today. As a group, we did various things like cutting steel reinforcement wires, hammering them into shape, and then forming them into reinforcement rings in which cement would eventually be poured, to form the foundation of the new house that we are going to erect. It can and will be said that though we are all exhausted after this exertion, we all came out with an excellent state of mind, as we all had fun, with this new experience, and that we did this in the full knowledge of the fact that we did this for a cause greater than ourselves.
