Terrifically terrifying tuktuks

---

As the week came to a close, our previous efforts caught up to us and the exhaustion was obvious. We all struggled to continue our laborous digging of the chapel foundations, however the idea of the happiness the chapel would bring to the children, school and community encouraged us to power on. We were all moved today by a young boy boarding at the school. As well as being deaf he has learning difficulties, finding it difficult to communicate and even smile. Yet, as we have witnessed through Rosy's bond with the young child, there has been significant improvement and have even seem him begin to smile. In the evening the teachers treated us to a meal out at the top Indian restaurant in the town. The food was amazing, despite the difference in service compared to at home. Many got their mains before their starters! Whilst many found this frustrating, we soon realised how lucky we were to be able to have food at all, let alone eat out. The realisation that Silvia, the lady who serves us food at the school, was only able to join us due to the teachers generosity hit us hard. She lives off of £50 a year and therefore cannot afford such a luxury. I think it's agreed that the highlight of the day was when we got tuktuks from the restaurant back to the deaf school. They were terrifying, yet it was so fun that it is definitely an experience we want to do again! It's our rest day on Sunday, and we all cannot wait to have a break and do some shopping. Hope all is well at home, talk to you soon, lots of love Izzie and Alisha xxx
