We had planned to work this morning at 8:00a.m. on a wooden bench for the children, but when we went outside the winds had shifted during the night and ash had fallen over the town. So instead of working on the bench, everyone grabbed a broom and began to sweep. I never thought I would rather be shoveling snow back home! We are now hoping for rain to wash away the remaining ash.
In the fourteen years the volcano has been active again, this is only the tenth time the winds have shifted and ash has fallen on Banos. Just my luck on my fourth day in town!

Volunteers Sweeping Up Ash This Morning
Here is a link to a website I am using to follow the volcano's activity:
Due to the ash La Bib will be closed today, so we are working on the bench and other odd jobs around the building. Tonight two volunteers will be cooking dinner for everyone so we can have a home-style meal. After dinner we plan to have a card game.
