It was an awsome weekend full of laughter, learning and boatbuilding. 8 kids built 2 of our Boats 4 Folks Skiffs in 2 days. For our volunteers it was inspirational and moving to work with these kids in an atmosphere of "Can Do" despite having no skills for the tasks required. As in the other area of their lives requiring something new - they were all over it.
I think the pictures speak for themselves...
