Just finished a 3 day shift on the building site, it has
progressed a lot since our last stint. It is finally beginning to look like an
ablution block, it is phenomenal to see the beginnings of the foundations for
the main hall against the ablution block it shows how far you can get in a
short period of time when there is a lot of people working together – imagine how
quick we could progress if the container had arrived with all the tools!

Since getting back from R&R we have
started building up the internal walls to make the separate cubicles for both
the showers and toilets, however we are having great difficulty getting the
handmade blocks straight, and cutting with blunt saws requires a lot of effort,
good thing we like a challenge.
We are back on basecamp today and debating what our next
speciality will be, we are not quite sure how we are going to better pancakes
and freshly made bread, so really hoping that the Botswanans will teach us a
few tricks!
Just been shopping for tonight’s meal, we plan to serve
chicken with white sauce and rice, really hoping it works wells. As a team we
decided to save money for the first two days so we could serve up something
amazing on the third. Maybe we will bake a cake –who knows!
