A week’s work
Two projects completed
We feel …what?

Satisfied, exhausted, numbed?
We saw so much need
Heard so many stories
Felt their pain and anger
Felt their joy and appreciation
A week’s work
Was it worth it?
Did we have an impact?

As their new homes take another step forward
A week’s work
Nineteen friends return home
Satisfied, exhausted, numbed
A bit numbed by what we saw
A bit exhausted from the work and heat
Very satisfied that we went
