Church project Day 5






We started out the day going to the church we have been working on, to pick up tools and supplies to go to another church that needed our help. Duane and Larry checked if the church will be ready to pour concrete on Wednesday. We went to a church in Basima where the basic 6 block high wall was standing, and they had removed the old roof and wooden sides. We brought in sand and block--and started our work. "Buff Bonnie" was busy cutting rerod while "Fussy Phil" was making sure that all the block was set correctly--please check out the pictures. Tomorrow we will go visit a school that Joe, Larry and Duane had worked on before--but were unable to see it completed. We'll do that first in the morning, then probably go to our original church project to help out with the cement pouring. Then if we have time we will go back to our second church project to finish putting up the last row or two of block. Everyone remains very busy, and pretty much shot by the end of the day. The cold showers do tend to wake you up again, if the traffic on the way home hasn't already set you on edge. It's amazing to see all of the mopeds or small motorcycles on the road, along with all kinds of banana or orange trucks, and other vehicles. They don't keep the slower traffic on the right, so you are constantly weaving in and out to avoid slower mopeds--sometimes loaded with 3 or 4 people. Anyway, it's an experience, and you will just have to see the pictures.
