Our day started at 7 am, we got together for breakfast before departure to the construction site. We were all super excited to start working!

When we arrived to the site, the community were waiting for the whole team, as it was their first time to receive volunteers. Someone in representation of the Chief gave welcoming words, and women started to sing a beautiful prayer.
We started the construction with some safety reminders from Habitat Lesotho staff and after that we were good to go! It was so nice to see all the community gathering together to help build this house. We started with a brick line, and later on we got the things to start the mortar in order to build the walls.




We stopped for lunch at 1 pm were we got to try papa (mealies crushed corn) which is normally eaten by Basotho on their everyday meal.

We continued working until 3.30pm and we were able to see the difference! We still got another day to build and finish the wall.

We got back to the hotel super tired but super happy!

Our first day was over and we were looking forward to the next few days. We were excited to start this journey and to work with the community.
