Day 6











Woke to ever increacing foggy morning that was cool and crisp and by 10.00 was clear and sunny. After a scrambled eggs & flatjacks for breakfast, we had study and pray time to start the day, then actions stations, work continued on both stories with building the internal walls. The workers where busy making up the metal form work, which sits the 10 course of bocks, forming the lintal beam. We then poured buy bucket chain the concrete into the lintals, then layed 3/4 more layers of blocks up to the ceiling. Julie trained first aid life skills with the orphanage works after lunch in the bamboo hut. Keith repaired on got running the emergency generator, which had not be running for some time. He also work on the mission cars listing the job required and making minor repaires. Hit the showers at six and out for tea to have a banquet of food including sweets and our usual mango shakes.
