COMREL Project Tlie crew adopted a local school in Manta, Ecuador, that needed a lot of work. We visited two seperate times, first to paint the walls and to get the kitchen area up to par. The second visit we worked to finish the kitchen project and get the floors and bathroom in order. If you ask the guys, they will tell you it was a lot of hard work. We gave up some liberty, but it was worth the smile on the children ' s faces! It felt good to leave a good impression of American Sailors behind! 63
