I am not sure if I have mentioned Daniel before, but I figured he should have his own entry. The construction is run by Edwin-he is the head engineer for SIFAT and he designs all of daycares SIFAT has. He has two employees-Julio & Daniel, Julio is the foreman, and Daniel basically the one that shows me what to do 90% of the time. The interesting thing about Daniel is that he is deaf. And he doesn’t know sign language at all. Ironically enough he is probably the easiest for everyone to understand. He and Edwin have created their own language together and we mimic that. Daniel is probably the best boss I have ever had. Everything that we do he shows us (normally more than twice), and he guilds us every step of the way. He never gets mad when we screw up (please imagine my eternal screw-ups at a construction site). He laughs, shakes his head, and helps me fix the problem. He not only does this for me, but for every other team and individual that is working with him. He never gets frustrated with the fact that he can’t communicate, and I have worked with him for 2 weeks and never seen him angry. He is inspiring to work for and such and interesting way for God to choose to reflect Christ to me.
Julie! Found your blog.
ReplyDeleteDaniel is my far one of the most awesome to work with at the construction site. I found it amazing that even though he cannot hear or speak, he is the easiest person to understand. And even at first when you don't understand him yet, he does his best to show you what he's talking about. I want to go back and work with Daniel!
Hey, this was a great post! Love you, Dad
