Week 14 will be remembered for the laughter! As well as powering though the block making process Mithra, Veena, Gokulan and Andy brought infectious laughter! Even the trip up to Dwabor on Sunday included shrieks of laughter, let alone the village walk around!The weather was great all week so site progressed well and James Bond was introduced to the power of Mithra and Veena on the block press! Everyone worked really hard all week and Danny and Andy continuing to work at 100%. There were some funny moments including,
“Who are you calling Bruni?”
“Bobby the goat!”
“Is that the power plant?” Andy looking at the public toilets!
Thank you team 14 for such a fun and productive week!
Andy Low " We apply our superficial values and wrongly assume that the community is poor, when in reality they are rich in the most important things in life: friendship, happiness, family and love. The world would be a better place if everyone visited Dwabor!"
Week thirteen, unlucky for some, but not for the volunteers in Dwabor! The weather was good, progress on site was visible and great memories were made. Arriving on the very night that Barack Obama left the country set the tone for the crazy week. Adventures included some interesting taxi rides, midday water flight and excessive material purchasing! There were also some interesting conversations, including Jeni’s early morning comment of ‘is that Phil Collins’ and watching flies then saying ‘that’s sex, right?’
