The Last brick


Wazup Mazungus!!! Another really productive day on the site today, we had lots of small but essential jobs to do. Jobs before lunch included preserving wood, fitting windows (which weren’t a pane), sieving sand and finishing the gable end. To finish the gable end some of the taller members of the project, including Adam and I, had to do the brick laying. Even Adam needed a step to finish the last brick which was announced with an ogg  ie oggie oggie across the school. At lunch some of the expedition members went into Marigat to look at buying some traditional Kenyan wear. After this we got on with rendering the top half of the classroom, to start with most of the cement ended up on the floor rather than the wall, but as time progressed we got better and less cement was wasted. Hopefully we should have most of the roof trusses up by tomorrow.

We are all quite excited by the fire at Nairobi airport and hope we can spend more time here!! –

  1. Hi Rachel! I some how managed to find this and its been keeping me entertained. I hope you're having fun, it certainly looks it by your face in every photo :) the building looks to be flying along, you'll have nothing left to do by the last week. But yes I hope you're ok and that you're having a good time.
