At 6 o‘clock AM not even the sun was up yet, but we were. In the kitchen of an old schoolhouse were five teenagers preparing breakfast for the strenuous day ahead. For a week in Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania, twenty teenagers and four adults converted the schoolhouse into a home. Burnt French toast was our gourmet meal that morning and energizing enough to give us the strength to take on the world. By 8 AM all twenty-four of us were loaded up into two church vans and headed to our work site where we would spend the next seven hours. When we arrived at the old rundown miner’s hospital, we met Matt, our carpenter. That day the twenty-four of us broke up into groups doing various jobs throughout the building. The day consisted of framing walls, chipping two inch thick concert off basement walls, moving a sea of ten and fifteen foot two-by-fours up four flights of stairs, and then my personal favorite, moving the thousands of pounds of concrete to the dumpster. My day started off in the basement chipping concrete off walls.
