| These people are digging dirt from the bank on the side of the road to put in "sandbags." At the time of this photo, it had been raining, and there had been many mud slides. |

| This worker is plastering the side of a new house by standing on scaffolding made of a few boards nailed together. I took this photo from my upstairs kitchen window. |

| Who is responsible for replacing burned-out streetlights? Apparently, the closest residents are! I went to the hardware store and bought a new bulb; then our American landlord climbed a ladder to change the bulb on the street outside our house. The old bulb broke in the socket, however, so he asked us to hire someone else to change it. |
 |
| We hired this guy for about $5. He climbed up with a couple of ropes and used pliers to extract the old bulb... without disconnecting the power first. I was praying for him the whole time! |

| This is our "trash truck," which comes every Wednesday afternoon. The guys ride in the back of the truck with the pile of trash. They carry the trash to a cliff to dump it. |
