Before eating breakfast the team undertook a 5am trek to the lone tree
visible at the peak of the mountain to catch a view of the sunrise. Not only
did we time this perfectly, arriving minutes before the sun rose over the
mountains we also managed to explore another Joshua feeding centre situated in
thicker more lush vegetation. Despite our collective exhaustion following days
of hard work, this not only energised us, but also set the tone for the entire
day.
In comparison to other days the work load was less rigorous as the two
manual jobs (brick laying and landscaping) wound to a close, as both progressed
towards their completion.
With our work completed (foundation slab poured and 1000's of bricks moved and laid) on the teachers house we now pass on the baton to the local builders to complete the skilled elements of the build.
After 20 tonnes of earth moved by pure will power and strength the landscaping was completed ensuring guaranteeing the future of Masika junior primary school.
Within all of this work, many members of the team still managed to enjoy themselves playing with the local children. In particular Fay who spent an afternoon climbing classroom rules and Charlie who enjoyed an evening of collecting tennis balls from the river following a rowdy game of baseball.
As the team finishes its last day of work and looked towards our final day in Manyenje the feeling is overwhelming of gratitude for the villagers consummate kindness and willingness to join us, whether it be in work or play.
