Started to Build the Kiddies School

Today I woke up at 7:30, had breakfast at 8, and headed to the elementary school to start constructing the brick building, which will eventually be an extension of the school. We started out by sifting the sand, and then combining it with the cement mix and water. We then built up the walls slowly but surely, about 6 bricks high for the day, which was a success. We had lunch at noon, and got back to working on the building around 2. I left the construction site around 5 to go on a nice jog before the sun goes down. As I was running I was stopped a few times by the locals. One asked me if I had any books for them, another asked if they could have my “hair scarf” which is my bandana, and another told me I looked to serious, at least I think that’s what he said… Ha! The run was very nice though after I got out of the town. There was a nice grassland area that looked over the entire town of Philippolis, which was an awesome view. Anyways, it was a nice long day of work, and I’m sure I’ll be doing much of the same for the upcoming two weeks. I will also be doing sports with the kids, and possibly teaching English and/or Biology to all age groups.
