Pouring the foundations


We started early this morning ready for a hard day of work filling in the foundations of the hall.  Elliot and I decided today would be a good day to wear our matching turquoise vests.  What a sight! 

After an excellent warm up by Martin the work teams headed off to site.  The cement mixers were fired up and we began the filling.  Our “engines” (sticks strapped to the wheelbarrows) were prepped and morale was high so we soldiered on racing our way through the task.  With two committed and efficient teams a hard days work was finished in half a day. 

With an afternoon to recover we washed and one of the teams headed off to the craft stalls.  Soon enough we were all back at camp for Macaroni Bolonaise with homemade garlic bread!  Another challenging but rewarding day in Botswana
