Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday have been spent working on the school room. Monday the youth prepared the area for the laying of cement block. Tuesday, they sifted sand, added gravel and concrete mix to make the mortar to use with the cement block. They have laid almost 300 cement block, while also mixing all of the mortar mix by hand. They have also been enjoying playing with the kids of Billy White.
Weather has been very hot but all are keeping hydrated and taking many breaks. Tuesday was a short work day, leaving Billy White right after lunch and returning to the hotel for rest and cooling off in the pool. All but the guys and Jack returned to Billy White on Tuesday evening to attend the graduation ceremony for 8 students graduating from Standard 6 (our equivalent of 8th grade).
Wednesday was even hotter than the day before...but we put up some tarps over the work area to provide some shade for the workers.
The following pictures show what the youth have been doing the first half of the week.
