Got the first bit of cementing done today so in contrast to yesterday we are now ahead! Yas really upped his game today and the results really showed! I´m so glad that we´re building for this family inparticular. Even when we´re finished building, it will still be such a tiny space for so many people to live in, however at least it will be hygienic. At the moment I physically hold my breath everytime I walk through their house and its a good job we wear safety goggles for work as they´re also handy for walking through the swarms of flies. It´s an awful environment for kids to grow up in and I´m so happy that its going to change for them.
It´s odd how people prioritise here. For example the family we are building for inparticular are living like sardines, so much so that some of the children don´t even have neds, they store the little amount of clothes they have in cardboard boxes, they have no lights and so the house is in constant darkness, no toilet, no sink, no cooker just a camping stove ' and yet they have a TV and a booming HiFi.
Today we partook in music and circus classes, however there was no real structure and so everyone was really just mucking around and having fun, which yes is a laugh but not at all resourceful so we´re all going to have to work on some form of structure for Thursday.
