Nearly a Month!

Hello everyone, we have been here nearly a month already. I can't believe how time flies! We have been keeping quite busy, Courtney has continued tutoring the children who need extra help, as well as been teaching full classes for missing teachers. I have helped with miscellaneous  jobs here and there, including finishing up with the storage floor, putting up fire hydrants, fixing the fences, as well as a LOT of weed-eating, keeping the grass short for liability reasons. Courtney and I have both gotten involved in after school clubs as well. Courtney is helping out with the baking club, and I have been playing soccer 2 days a week, and am hoping to find some used clubs and teach some golf in the cow pasture. We also had an enjoyable long weekend for Freedom Day, where we spent time with family in Pretoria. Next week we are going to see where the children live, and visit the shanty towns near Ivory and Kempton Park.These are heavy by the way.
 Cutting the last row. 38 times....
 
Almost done. Note Sipho cutting the bottom of the door off because we had to add so much material. 5inches of dirt followed by 4 inches of sand followed by these blocks.
Spread the cement over the floor dry.




Spray, then brush the mortar into the joints.
