Day 4 - Reynosa, Mexico

Today we traveled across the border from Hidalgo/McAllen TX to Reynosa Mexico.

This morning I built trusses at Senda de Vida, which is a refuge for people who are from out of town and have no money. It also has a Senior Citzen's center for older people who don't have family or resources. We are building a pavilion, which is a structure that covered but open on the sides. We build a lot of these because then the locals can fill in the walls, and we can return another year to do other finish work. We change around a lot so we can participate in many projects, so a different team put our trusses up in the afternoon.

In the afternoon I put siding and a porch on a community center. The community center will be used to distribute food like rice and beans, as well as clothing, and to hold outreach events.
