Day 4: Second day on site

Today, we continued building the walls of the house, and we were also in charge of digging a hole for a soak away, where the family can dispose of their dirty water so that it drains safely away from the house.

It was 1 meter by 1 meter with 1 meter in depth.  We then filled in the drain away with differing sized stones.

We then had the door installed along with 2 windows.


 We came back from lunch and put up some more rows of cinder blocks.


 We were joined again for the day by Tumisang, he did a lot of work helping us build his house.


 We ended the day with the walls almost complete and the soak away just needing a quick coat of cement.
