Actual Hard Work in Mexico

Before: No house
(And note how clean everyone looks.)

After: House

The important details. This is Mexico in the summer, so it was 97 degrees in the shade. Unfortunately there was no shade. All supplies, including bags of concrete had to be carried up the hill by hand.

No one can say they have not experienced hard work.

Shade at last.

These foreign correspondants definately worked the hardest and ended up giving a family a home. Job well done!
What will Mel do next year? Go to the Arctic in the winter and save seals?
