We only worked a half day today, and had to focus on making lots of plaster and finishing first and second coats of plaster to the remaining parts of the walls.
This involved getting the scaffolding set up and getting lots of plaster mixed up. There was great progress made today, with only one corner needed first and last coats, with some finishing left on 2 walls.
We will complete this tomorrow before we have a priest come and bless the house and have a farewell dinner with the family.
We spent the second part of the day visiting with 2 families in the area who had been recipients of Global Village volunteers and got to see the work that was completed.
Here is Nora, who had received a Global Village team from Canada who worked for 2 weeks plastering the walls like we are doing here. Her 3 sons work in Russia as migrant workers since there is little opportunity for employment here at home. To see more of her story, click on the link below:
We also went to another family's house, to see the work that was just done in June by an affiliate from New Jersey. Malania and her family received a 3 bedroom renovation with plaster walls.
