6 students in FAA 291 spent the weekend completing an ADA accessible wheelchair ramp at Audrey Sanders house in East St. Louis. Audrey Sanders fosters children with both physical and mental disabilities; giving them attention and love, and caring for them when their own families have rejected them. This ramp will allow Audrey to easily move the children in and out of the house.
Specifically our team completed the ramp by attaching the few remaining spindles to the railing. The students were given the opportunity learn how to use tools such as a circular saw, and a drill.
The team also dug holes and poured concrete, repairing a fallen chain link fence. In fixing the fence, the children will have a safer area to play in outside.
