Well, the building is finished!! The final layers of bricks were added to the walls and we were finished by about 1.30! It’s looking really good so far, they are putting the roof on soon, hopefully before Thursday as that is the dedication day when we will take our plaque with us to the finished classroom. We came back straight after we had finished and had lunch, everyone is now having a bit of a rest and fighting over the shower queue. The last few days hav...

Sorry I didn’t write a blog yesterday – we had a big storm with thunder and lightning on Sunday night and the electricity has been very dodgy since! It kept coming back on but then me or Amy D kept turning things on and I think we kept blowing it again! Oops… But since then we’ve still been having a great time!

When we arrived last night and were on the bus to our guest house we saw about 20 kids crammed into the back of some kind of car (although it looked like one of those big laundry baskets that hotels use!). But our journey was fine and we slept well – except us girls could hear African music and the generator all night! Plans changed a little and so Sophie, Amy, R...

Well this is my first attempt at a blog... so we will have to see how it goes! We haven't actually set off yet but we're packed and (vaguely) ready to go. I have to say, my bag is by far the lightest and is actually quite empty! Even Dad was impressed and that's saying something. Mind you, his is full of Chewee bars (don't even ask)! Between the 3 of us we have enough pills, lotions and gels to stock a pharmacy so i'm hoping we don't get stopped at any point and...
