Car wash!!

Each year the SDA high school puts on a Bible retreat for the high school students. From the way the students talk about it, they look forward to it every year! The Student Association for this year is trying to raise money so that the Bible retreat is free for all the students (they usually have to pay for food). So, during one of our holidays they organized a car wash!

So, Friday morning the high school advisers and a hand full of students hopped in our flat bed and headed out to town. We started setting up in front of the college on the island, but unfortunately we couldn't get the water hooked up right. So our second choice was to set up down the road. The downfall of this was we had to pay $50.00 just to use the spot. This wouldn't be so bad but we only charged a dollar per car!
The kids had great attitudes, however, and started at it. Many people drove by not interested at all, many cars took us up on our low priced offer, while others simply handed us money as a donation. The Chuukese people can be very giving people!!

Overall, we made about a $50.00 profit and the students had a lot of fun! The students were surprised to see me jump in and help, I think they expected the teachers to just sit there and watch them, but I'm much to ADD for that! I also got a pretty nice tan..err.. burn.
