Day 9 – Back to Work



Content from joanne

Monday - 19 November

Arriving back at the build  site after our three-day-weekend, we were all keen to get back to work. Since the previous rows of bricks were now ‘set’ and the new levels of re-bar were installed by the skilled workers, we were ‘onwards and upwards’ to the rafters.

 Since we were now ‘seasoned workers’ in brick-laying, people migrated to working on their own sections of walls, and by the end of the day we saw great progress.

Site One also started dug the hole for the latrine/septic field. The hole is 2 Meters by 1 Meter by 1 meter deep, and made short work of Rob’s hands when it came to blisters in this humid climate.
