Gawad Kalinga Build Day - Part 2: AM Shift

2007jul21gk018 (Small)The PNB volunteers were divided into four groups. Each group had a marshall. Once our group marshall dropped us off to paint one house, we had little supervision from her afterwards, so we just assumed that we keep on painting until we ran out of paint. Another thing that was not clear was if we just slap on the first coating or if we do a good job even though it was just the first coating.

2007jul21gk023 (Small) Since the first house Alex painted was pink, he took charge of painting all the houses that had a pink facade.
Some groups were in charge of gardening as well as helping with the land fill.
