The first day has been very productive and the new classroom site is already beginning to take shape.
Amy T and Kitty, having been the first on site to meet the contractor, gave the morning
briefing and rallied the troops for a morning split between brick-making with
members of the community and site-clearing for the foundations to be dug.
After a few mandazis (African doughnuts) and a cup of tea for morning break, the team were back
out on the build site, with some other 'home improvement' side projects including the creation of
a hand-washing station and a seed garden.
The afternoon saw an impromptu football match and many games with the
Manyenje children before a
sumptuous curry and sticky rice prepared ably by Issy and Becca S with
guidance from Dorcus - the Malawian cook from the local community.
Stars of the day: Harriet and Tamsin for their effort and
enthusiasm on site. This team is being led by Inspire Worldwide. To find out more about their bespoke volunteering trips please visit www.inspire-worldwide.com
