YooHoo Man

Today was another adventure filled day. We went back to the Mount Hope rehab site and continued to work on the projects we started from the day before. Before we started work, a neighbor man, we called the "YooHoo Man," offered some of us a YooHoo beverage to keep up our energy for the day. This gave us a sense of how friendly the neighborhood was. The most challenging task today was putting up a garage door. John and Robbie gave a tremendous effort into putting up the garage door, but after everything was up, they found out it wasn't working correctly. This will be continued tomorrow. Before leaving the rehab site, we discovered that Jim, our site manager, will be running for mayor of Oak Hill this coming June. It's amazing to see the passion and devotion of the people from this community. Another game of kickball was played with the students in the after school program when we got back this evening. Now, we are just waiting for dinner to be made. Tonight we will be having rockin' tacos!
