One of the groups learns how to use the glue gun from volunteer Jake (Photo taken by Chris Holmes)10 volunteers and 12 participants were on hand this morning to begin construction of the first Peace Canoe. Three groups each worked on an important task during this first day of construction.
One group was responsible for gluing the scarf joints, the second group had to nail the hull, and the third group worked on one of the sides. The participants were excited as this was the first project of the kind that these kids have all been involved with. The kids enjoyment and momentum of the volunteers kept the project going and all was completed by noon when the pizza arrived.
All the kids agreed that this was a fun experience and they are excited to come back on February 7th to continue construction.
