The Soccer Field is Almost Finished!

At first glance, it may not look like much, but to the people in Yorkin the recovery of their soccer field has been an important task.  It is one that has brought the whole community together to work - old and young, men and women.  In addition, there have been several groups of volunteers who have joined in the efforts.  Thanks to the inspiration and motivation provided by Benson Venegas, the people have seen the task as a challenge and opportunity.  Instead of just leaving the plaza as a field piled with sand and debris, they have organized themselves and their efforts to bring this soccer field - and this community center - back to life.

Tile and Ceramic

Hugo and I made a quick visit to Yorkin yesterday to check up on the progress of things.  You can see below that they have finished the tile on the walls in the bathroom, and the ceramic flooring is over halfway done.  As things are moving along, it's becoming more of the finishing work, the details that aren't as immediately noticed as putting up walls or painting, but all in all things are starting to take shape!
