The staff and students are in high spirits and adapting well to remote village living.
The huge task of rendering the school houses is well underway and progress is clearly evident to the locals who are so pleased with the efforts of the staff and students.
Work also began today on an allocation of land that the group has turned into a vegetable garden where bananas will be grown to feed the local school children.
Cultures have merged in a mutual appreciation of football with many talented sportspeople challenging the boys on the field.
The village has only one water source which is a tap fitted with a short hose. This acts as a communal point of interaction as everyone uses this source for drinking, washing and showering. Many smiling faces and conversations are had here and it is quite a special experience.
Tomorrow sees the continuation of the rendering project which is being tackled by the students with a very positive and generous approach. Hats off to all the boys and their hard work so far.
Sounds amazing Guys and Gal
