Plans for the trips to Colombia:

Both teams will be building individual tables and chairs for the classrooms for the two Christian Schools in Bogota.

They will need to have angles cut for the legs, table top supports and back support for chairs.   Then they will make the tops and backs of wood.   They will need people to weld, cut angles, sand, varnish, and paint.   There may be some who will help with painting in one of the schools.
