What the build was about for me

My brother and i had today to get from Radoutz to Bucharest so we decided to take a side trip to Brasov. It is late and we are on a train so i thought i woud write about what the culmination of the experience was for me.

On the last night of the build we dedicated our house to the home owners. Depending upon the home owner the dedications are different. In general there is a ribbon cutting ceremony, thank yous, song, prayers and food in the house you just built. It was a very emotional experience when the home owner realizes he will have a place to have a life and raise a family. In one ceremony i went to they sang religious songs, prayed, cried, danced and laughed. It was an incredible experience to see just how with the right motivation and time a life can be made better.
