We Can Build An Orphanage

Lia recently hired a Boss (this is what they call a carpenter/repair-man in Haiti) named Frito for some repairs around the orphanage. While she had access to Frito she decided to see if she could strike a deal with him to build a true school bench for the triplets. They have been working so hard since their new school uniforms that we thought it was time they had a true school bench to attend school in.

Just like any kids they were outgrowing their small tables and chairs, so the timing could not have been more perfect. After some key negotiating by Lia, she was able to strike a deal with the Boss and construction on a new school bench began. It took 2 days to complete and it had to be tilted over the front balcony, it was to big to fit through the stairs.

The girls could not be more thrilled and with materials and labor Lia was able to have the bench built for $67.81! Wow…go Lia.
