Service projects around La Mariposa

Another great day at La Mariposa!  From 8 - 12, today's work activities consisted of watering the plants both surrounding the hotel and in the garden at La Concha Nursery, assisting at Panama school, Panama Escuela and various carpentry tasks around the hotel.

As an architecture student it was very rewarding to assit in the construction of some shelving for the hotel.  With limited materials such as random pieces of wood, some cane branches and some nails purchased at the local hardware store down the road in San Juan the hotel now has a shelf below the billboard to display various brouchures and books for guests to look at in their spare time. -Cheers...Tim
