Tues , July 27th

We had a great day today. We left our guest house at 7:05am and headed to the Suubi Village. The traffic getting there was nothing short of wild and crazy, between the boda boda's zippin in and out of the vehicles and the pedistians being very close along the road. It's a miracle we haven't seen any accidents. After about 90 min we arrived at our destination and we were all ready to begin our builidng. Our team was given a demonstration by the local forman on how to lay brick and mortar and we made some incredible progress. We worked alongside the locals and it was some darn hard work. I'm ready to pass out even as I'm writing. The local team seems very young, you really don't see a generation of older skilled folks. They were all very gracious. At the end of our first day we moved an entire truckload of brick by hand and completed 7 layers of the first floor.

Everyone without exception is just wiped out. I'm happy to say we had a much easier drive home. Made it in an hour. We all got back and took numbers to see who would get the dribble shower and in what order. Just finished dinner and now we are all about ready to pass out., Can hardly wait for tomorrow. Terri
