Saturday, May 4, 8:30am - 4:15pm at Habitat Terrace, San Francisco
Number of Hours: 8.75
Total hours completed: 33.25
This was the second day that this site was open to volunteers. It looked like an empty lot at first, but after looking around, I noticed that they had started digging trenches and there construction flag markers to show where different things were going to be built. I was curious about what we were going to do for the day, because it seemed like there was going to be a lot. The entire day was spend building fences for the neighbors' yards. This was the first time that I did any construction like this and I definitely underestimated how difficult it was going to be (not to mention, it was hot outside). Nevertheless, this was one of the most enjoyable days that I had while volunteering with Habitat GSF. The AmeriCorps workers gave me advice on different ways to improve my technique when building the fence, and it really helped. I was happy at the end of the day to look back and see that the hard work that everyone put in paid off.
