Construction Day 2

With the foundation dug and some of the foundational concrete poured, we worked before lunch to finish that first layer of concrete. This required some massive mixings on the ground [photo]. Watching concrete being mixed by had is always an impressive sight, and this operation was incredible!

We split up more after lunch, some of us working on setting up the rebar for the foundation and the walls, others digging a massive hole for a septic tank, and the third group moving more sand from the street to the site. This last group had some extremely energetic helpers, both from our family and from the neighbors [photo].

Our hot showers (and we have awesome showers at our hotel) felt great. But as hard as we worked, we had a wonderful day working and playing with the kids, the family members, and so many others. It's always powerful to be reminded that people are people (and boys are most definitely boys) all around the world, no matter the country or language.
