Today we continued to build the houses in the village. Although it was extremely tough and hot we all had heaps of fun. The temperature was scorching while we were building but this didn't stop us. We had lots of fun playing with the children of the village and learning their many fun and entertaining games. On both houses the structure is up and the floor is nailed down. For many of us, today was the first day we ever used saws, hammers and nails. After the full day of working we visited the local market to our hotel and we bought the village children and adults, 100kg of rice and more necessities for their home, we also bought presents for the children we felt strong friendship and connection with. An aspect we found confronting was the view from the bus. Many cows on the side of the road were malnourished and you could see their bones bulging from their bodies. Ultimately, today was very enjoyable and we all feel that we have made a huge difference to these families lives.
