Termites

Today the roof on the small building was started. However, the brunt of the work was leveling the ground of the two larger buildings. The first building we moved the dirt from one end to the other. To help pack the dirt we had our human "steam roller" Sarah who surprisingly lost her energy today. After completing the first building we moved on to the second large one. For the second building we had to move soil from a termite mound. Our fellow Kenyan workers used their jembes and plowed into a large termite colony. They began to eat some of the termites and convinced us to try them. It was an interesting experience and we have definitely learned a lot about Kenyan culture.
