Another Great Day




Most of the window frames have being fitted today, we are hoping to start building the roof trusses tomorrow as the locals have started to cut the trees that are needed for this part of the project , we are also hoping getting the walls at one end of the building up to roof level by the end of work. After a big effort by ever one most of the bricks have being moved onto site as well today.

The African heat returned this week, most of the group are having to take more rest time mid day as its was over 30 degrees this afternoon, lots of the spare time the young people have, is being spend in the Hot Springs

    The access "equipment" on one of the shots looked interesting!!!!!!!!!!

  11. We are really amazed at how quickly the building is coming on. Some achievement in 30 degrees!

    As you relax in the Hot Springs think of us setting off to Cub Camp in a British Summer :(

    Looking forward to your safe return, you best be taking care of him Steph! You can get rather legless in Edinburgh to celebrate! Enjoy the safari, and i'm proud of what you're all doing, it's awesome. It's a life changing experience, and i hope no creepy crawlies are spoiling it!
