Day 4 - At the VBS. They are building this area up for the local workers. These workers work in the fields their whole life... some of them never receive education, or even language training. They have come up from southern Mexico, and many of them don't even speak Spanish... they speak an Indian dialect, or sometimes they just make up their own language. This building will be a large dining room, and upstairs will be classrooms to teach the workers.
