Jaimy here. IT'S FINISHED!!! The team put in a huge effort mixing what seemed like a million tonnes of cement which was used to level the classroom floor and make the veranda. The spare was used to complete the kitchen as far as we can (most of the brick laying done). All that needs doing now is tidying up around site and a small amount of tittervating. 

Just before tea the blazers came back from the tailors and many photos were taken including a class of kenya 2013 with John Don as head teacher. 

We hosted a very nice traditional English dinner with pork, mash and veg for some of the locals that have helped us from the start and during our visit. People like Father Peter, Rafael (the head teacher) and Vincent and Mark our local builders. There was then many speaches and exchanging of gifts (mainly kneckers) and a big BRAVO for all their hard work making this trip possible and ensuring that the classroom was finished. 

The mood around camp tonight is very up beat and we're all looking forward to the grand opening of the classroom and the relaxation period. Whoop!!
