The local workers work hard. Damn hard. You haven’t seen gnar gnar physical labor until you’ve paid a little visit to Nicaragua. They pretty much do 90% of everything by hand (that’s not including some little basics like saws, but they mix and pour all the concrete by hand and lay the iron by hand and use sticks - that’s right sticks and thick branches that they cut with machetes perfectly to use as supporters for the ceilings, roof staircase and anything that has concrete that needs to set and wait on to be completely dry to move on to the next phase of building). And then meanwhile, they come play soccer for an hour on their short little window of a lunch break, and this is what makes this place so unique. They’d rather go play a game of soccer (and it’s not exactly cool weather) than eat or take an actual break. Nicest people, but built like machines!
