| Report | Three rented air-conditioned vans took us to Splash Mountain Resort Hotel in Los Banos, Laguna. The rooms were clean and the food was excellent. On Day 1, after the orientation by the site engineer, we uprooted grasses, digged canals, and dumped soil on six lots, On Day 2, we continued digging and dumping soil on the lots to make the surface even. On Day 3, we assembled steel wall frames in the morning. We visited Site 1 after lunch. We distributed coned-ice cream to 400 lucky children and 22 bags or 2,200 pieces of lollipops to the remaining members of the community. We distributed assorted school supplies in bags to 23 lucky children chosen by lottery. The rest of our donations, composed of school supplies and used clothes, were turned-over to a representative of ABS Foundation. On Day 4, we left for Puerto Galera. On day 5, we went to Pagsanjan Falls in Cavinti, Laguna. This was the hightlight of our rest and recreation. Everybody enjoyed this part of the trip. |

| Report | We arrived in Chiang Mai and were warmly greeted by Malinie and her Habitat Team with a big "Welcome Viking Builders" banner and flower necklaces!! We spent the first 3 days enjoying R&R activities such as Thai Cooking Class, Wien Kum Kam temple bicycle tour, Elephant Nature Park, and Flight of the Gibbon. We stayed at the Imperial Mae Ping Hotel which was fantastic for our group of teenagers as it included breakfast, was close to the Night Market and even had a pool so they could cool off after a day of building. We built a 3 room cement brick home for a wonderful family which included a mom and 17 year old daughter. Along with their extended family, they helped us build the house. We were provided with delicious Thai snacks and lunches that were brought to our worksite daily. We worked hard and enjoyed every moment of it. Our entire team really felt that this family was very grateful and appreciative of our team and we felt lucky to be the ones giving this family a new home. Our children took this project seriously and we worked as a team with the help of several skilled workers to construct a home that we hope will bring this family many years of happiness. Our Thailand coordinator, Malinie, was just top notch in every aspect. She clearly spelled out our daily objectives and made sure we stayed safe. She set up group dinners for us that were really delicious and fun (one was even on a river boat cruise). The house dedication ceremony was very touching and with all of the family members crying, it was hard for us not to. The final dinner that our team shared with the Habitat family was so enjoyable and we really felt a connection to them. The daughter danced a beautiful Thai dance for us in her traditional dress and we just all really enjoyed each other's company. Another highlight was our visit to a local orphanage where we played games and interacted with some of the most wondeful kids and staff! Habitat is such a well run organization. All the information I recieved as a Team Leader was clear and accurate and I have nothing but praise for our experience and all the staff! |
