The
day started with porridge and passion fruit, which was a real treat.
For the rest of the morning, we worked on site, whilst shouting our
newly learnt chichewa words (to the amusement of the locals!). Bulesani
wheeliba! Bulesani madz! Sanga sanga! (Bring wheelbarrow, bring water,
faster faster).
The partition wall between the two classrooms was
put up today by Anneka, Freya, Caitlin and About whilst the rest of the
team hoed the playground to make it flat. Alice and Elizabeth helped
Stevie make another shelf out of bamboo for the tambala (drying rack),
which is now complete and is being put to good use!
In the
afternoon we had a group outing to the youth group of a nearby village,
where we played with the kids and had a big game of football. Well done
to preet for her amazing penalty goal! Many of us found the steep walk
up hill hard and had forgotten how unfit we were, but it was made worth
it by the beautiful view out over Manyenje, and sitting under the Wisdom
Tree at the top of the hill. Everyone enjoyed a great dinner of veggie
burgers (thanks to cooks Izzie and Alice!) and are now ready for bed.
Night!
