Day 6: April 27th

Most people had not slept well the previous night as the thunder and lightening continued throughout the night. Day 6 started off with a heavy shower but it soon cleared up. It was quite cold this day and the heat of the first few days never returned. The kids were late for school as they had waited until the rain stopped.

We finished off the last few bricks that needed to go up and the trusses went up:

The window sills proved quite difficult, so it took a few people to get this job done.

We were quite proud of our one though

Finally, it was time for tea. We had to keep hydrated at all times during the week.

We took some time out too, all work and no play…

Back to work, and how many volunteers does it take a fit a blackboard?

That night, we were treated to the ultimate luxury: a shower! Baby wipes only go so far… We went to a local hostel not too far from the school. It must have been something to do with how clean Girl Andi was, because that evening while we were sat around the campfire, Boy Andy proposed to Girl Andi :).

She said yes! Best of luck to you in the future. It was a great way to end the week and there was quite a buzz around the fire that night.
