The days are beginning to blend together as much of the work is repetitive. However, we can see progress. In building 1,the walls are now high enough to reach window level. In building 2, about 90% of the footers are done and floors in 4 rooms are pretty well levelled out. To accomplish this, many blocks have been moved from the pile to the building and much dirt has been shoveled into the higher end of the building. Because the building is built on a slope, the floor at one end will be about 3 feet above ground level. The blocks here are not hollow and quite heavy. The slippery mud makes it difficult to move more than 3 at a time in a wheelbarrow. We were rewarded with another delicious dinner by Ruth Shikuku. As if taking care of 40 orphans isn't enough, she brought the dinner out to the work site with utensils, plates, and all. It makes one wonder who is it that's being served.
For entertainment during the ride home, we passed the time seeing who could tell the stupidest jokes. It's amazing that some people's taste in jokes hasn't gone beyond the 3rd grade level. Oh well, as long as the work is getting done.....
