It's almost here, so let's talk about packing and working -- for both work and worship. At work, you are going to need long pants (jeans or carpenter pants are great), teeshirts with sleeves, closed-toe shoes, and socks. Around the school and at worship, you can wear modest shorts, shirts with sleeves (absolutely no tanks), and sandals. I am attaching a packing list that may help out.
Packing for work is easy -- you will need a paint brush, a scraper, a hammer, safety glasses, work gloves and sunscreen. Our work sites are in downtown Buffalo, and most of the work will include painting house exteriors, building handicapped ramps, repairing porches, etc. Here is picture of the kind of houses we might have as projects. If you check out the slope of these roofs, it is easy to see why we can't do a lot of roof work.
One key item that is not on the packing list but is a necessity is a FAN. The school is not air-conditioned since it gets cool at night in Buffalo, but we suggest you bring an individual fan for your own sleeping space.
