and white cliffs hug the coastline. Green mountains rise steeply,

"We were goal-oriented. Our primary project was a house, and
we wanted to get it built. But we also brought crafts to teach the
children. . . . Some of us worked in a health clinic, seeing pregnant
women and physical therapy patients.
