It’s the second morning of the build and our bodies are feeling the pain of yesterdays hard work. Luckily our team has increased to six members as we head to the township early Wednesday morning. We started off the day with mixing daga and introducing Bulumko and Marc to the site. As the day went by each of us learned different skills on site. Murday helped some of the builders with laying the cement blocks. Inge helped with setting up the profiles and a few of us helped laying down the brickforce. The houses were built up to window hight and the door frames were installed. The builders were ‘begging’ us to help with the bagging. We used sponges and some daga to even out the inside of the houses. It was not going the to be plastered in the inside, so we tried our best to give it good appearance.

Then the rain started to fall. After our lunch break all of us were given the option of either staying with the houses or to go and collect painting equipment to paint the ceilings of other houses. Five members of our team went of to paint and one member stayed back at site. No matter were we found ourselves in Wallacedene that afternoon we all did our part in helping the Niall Mellon Township Foundation.
