During the time that our first mission team from Colorado Community Church was in Yorkin (July 5-9) some of us got to test our stucco-ing skills. About half of the interior walls of the clinic had already been done by the local laborers, but some of the CCC team helped out with finishing the job. It's a fine technique of using a trowel to throw a wet cement mix on the wall such that it spreads out - not too thin and not too thick - and sticks to the wall. Turns out there are some people who have more of a gift for the wrist action it requires... While some of us are better at part 2 - the smoothing process with a wooden paddle. Working alongside Benito, our team was able to help complete the rest of the interior walls leaving them ready to be painted.
