Service Project at Methodist Church on Anegada

The girls headed to shore at 8am this morning and headed into the Settlement on Anegada and met up with Romalia Smith, the minister of the church. The girls brought paint up from Tortola that we had picked up prior to their arrival for the project. We helped Romalia paint the new fence that they had just put up at our last visit to Anegada. Romalia told us that she had been praying for help and had been having trouble getting the fence painted. The girls were happy to help her and give back to the community that has been so receiving of them on their visit to the British Virgin Islands. The girls were also able to see how the people of Anegada live in the Settlement, a sharp contrast from their own lives.  After we finished painting, the children we painted with gave a steel drum recital for us in the Church.
