Begin Original post: On Sunday, March 6th you will have the opportunity to see a motivated Mayan community literally build their own school.

Work will begin at 5AM MT and continue until the entire second floor deck is poured. That is about 43 bags of concrete per hour; more than 350 in all will be mixed then lifted into place via a good old fashioned bucket brigade.

Watch hundreds of members of this unified church move closer to their goal to one day have a completed school. This is community in action. Take a minute to tune in and see this heartwarming site.
