Bricks, bricks and more bricks

Today was just like any other Monday.....with the girls hard at work  bricklaying on the walls and earth moving for the foundations before lunch.
The team then went to the brick farm to see the 30,000 strong brick kiln being fired and lit, which the girls have been helping to build all week. It's always a time of big excitement to see all the mud bricks being baked and set hard for their use in the classroom.

By getting the local community to make their own bricks, Joshua keeps costs down, but also involves the local community in their projects - so everyone has an incredibly vested interest.
The student's toilet for the new school have also been completed up to wall height which is brilliant and means that Teams 2 and 3 will now be working on the staff toilets when they come.
Stars today were Kitty and Issy L for their efforts on site today
