We left the Cabanas early in the morning already dressed and ready to get cracking with the community project. This was the part that most of us were looking forward to.  We arrived at the school, which in all honesty, the school was not as badly damaged as we had anticipated, nevertheless it was badly in need of work.  The School houses over 500 students in what can only be described as cramped conditions.  We got to work as soon as we got there and made huge progress on day one.  everything was left primed, sanded, cleaned and ready to be painted and transformed the next day.Local kids from the school gave up their New Years day holiday to come and help, which made it a great experience.  Both group of kids getting alot out of the interaction.  we even managed to get a game of baskeball/netball in during lunch.
