Today has been a very long and eventful day. We returned to the Kandaria high school for our second day where some of us were building the classroom whilst others were teaching. Building the classroom involved getting our hands dirty by laying the cement and piling bricks. Others stacked bricks up to help the Kenyan workers who are helping us build. After we went to Pastor Toms house for lunch and sat in the hut that was built for us. His wife once again had cooked plenty for us all which was very nice. Everyone is very welcoming. After lunch we went to the local farm where we helped the farmers plant seeds most of which were tomatoes. We also were happy to be told that the money we raised from the cyclathon was used to buy 24 single pipes, 2 hoses and a water pump to help irrigate the fields which were very dry. Whilst planting we all got stuck in. Jon stepped in a big puddle that went over his ankle, Callum lost his shoe in the mud and Miss Scott slipped and fell in the mud, all in all messy work…We are all currently sitting in the dining room after our tea and we are planning on having a girly night, plus Callum(Jon loves a girly night!)Dilara
Mud, mud, glorious mud!
