A lot of progress was made today. One wall of the house is completely done. It was very warm today - a few of us got a few too much sun! The day started with mixing up daga and laying block. Today was Heritage Day in South Africa so our builder ended his day at 3:00. The rest of the day was spent moving more block to the work site.
During the day a few of us played soccer with the kids, as they were off of school for the holiday. After work we were able to give the kids some of the donated items we brought - crocs, school supplies and toothbrushes with toothpaste.
This evening we toured a castle near the village we are working at. We had a traditional South African Braae, dinner included chicken, steak, lamb and farmers sausages. The owner of the castle also owns six ostriches and a peacock as pets.
The weather was much warmer today and sunny the entire time. Much better than the rain of the past two days! Tomorrow will be warm and sunny as well. We plan on getting the rest of the brick laid by the end of the day.
We'll remember the sunblock tomorrow! Cheers!
