Second last day on the building site and we’ve passed our target. We filled in the shutters with concrete today. Was one of the hardest days work so far, especially for the boys, lifting the heavy concrete up to the wire molding, still managed to finish it through the first lot of monsoon rain we’ve got while working. The locals got a good laugh out of us singing and dancing to singing in the rain..
We’ve been keeping busy over the last few days between teaching the children in the school in the afternoon, pictionary, brick lines, card games, learning to cook with the brothers, getting lifts down to the shop on one of the locals customized motorbike and getting tours of the local village and tonight we’re cooking an Irish dinner for all the people who’ve been looking after us here before we head off to Darjeeling on Saturday for some trekking.
Love you mammy
Talk chas all soon from Darjeeling

Hi Joan
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you! Sounds like everyone is having a great time even though its obviously very tough. We're quite jealous really and wish we could somehow share in the experience. Enjoy the trekking - you all deserve some chill-out time.
Lots of love
