Sr. High Youth Help Build the Shower House

Youth volunteers Seven Sr. High youth spent their February school vacation in service at Wanakee.

Over four days, these youth, along with volunteer Tim Hickey, accomplished an incredible amount of work in the new shower house. Among other things, the youth installed over 500 linear feet of interior siding (toilet and wall partitions) and covered the maintenance hallway with plywood.

It wasn't all work for four days; youth sledded, snowshoed and even went bowling.

Over April vacation, youth from two New Hampshire churches are coming to continue the work.
