Hello All



It's now monday after work on the second week of building. We have two sites where we are extending existing buildings, the walls are stone and clay mud, taken directly from the earth right next to the house so we are a model of resourcfulness. The only set back is the water, being the end of the dry season they are in very short supply, and the watering holes are a fair old trek to get too. Also there is not a scerik of natural flat ground!



The people here are hopelessly friendly and welcoming. we are getting to know our home partners very well, and spent the last friday afternoon dancing on the site. The food is amazing, and the scenery pushes the boundaries of my vocabulary.



Our weekend was spent l looking around different towns, Visiting a buddhist monastary and then a small, 3 class, elementary school, learning/teaching with the kids and then playing with puppets of auzzie animals that mum had bought for me, They were quite a hit!

There are plenty of photos to go up but for the time being i only have shots taken from the video camera, they will do for now.



Hope you all are well

See ya

hello
Hi Mitch. Just been on your site and had a look at your photos. They are amazing and it looks like you're having a great time. Love the little houses you're building. I am very envious and would LOVE to be there as the official photographer. Love the photo of the old man in the door way. Take care of yourself and make the most of every moment - I know you will. Love you and miss you. Lesley
