It's Tuesday of our week in Maryville and we only have two build days left here. Today I went with a few other girls to a Women's Build site--a house funded, supervised, and constructed entirely by women. Even though we were only painting, a pretty mundane and non-technical job, I was super impressed with the ladies working there, and the whole atmosphere at the site, which was really friendly and supportive. We had a great lunch and even the port-a-potty smelled clean and had soap. I've never met an unfriendly Habitat supervisor, but something about the women-only environment was especially unintimidating and empowering.
After another tasty dinner of stir-fry cooked up by Anita, Melanie, Chris C and company, we're grabbing a spot of wireless at that coffee shop downtown. Ta-ta for now.
