What was the aim for the week?
Block making and continuing with foundations
What was achieved in the week?
Soil sieving for blocks, watering concrete and blocks, moving blocks into dry and move sand, terraced the hill to increase the surface area to dry quicker.
Week 10 will be remembered for the rain! On arrival to Dwabor we were greeted with an almighty rain storm and all huddled in the kitchen. Work on site was affected during the week so the game of pass the pig, provided by Jon, became the day’s entertainment! All the volunteers worked so hard on site when the weather allowed it and also came to watch the community choir! Other highlights included seeing the car full to the brim of cassava and the strange abundance of hobnobs and tea! All in all a great week and a big thank you to Susie, Alice and Jon! We also can’t forget to mention Andy and Simon, who are still working hard!
