ReplyDeleteHey Guys:
We just wrapped up the second day of work and its coming along great! The kids are starting to warm up to us and interacting more and more. At one of the breaks we got in a circle and i lead them in the Chicken Dance Song, it was a site to see. As we were working today i would notice the school kids peaking through the windows and sating hello to us every chance that they weren't in class. Some of the pictures that i have attached are at the school that we are working at. You will also see some of the volunteers from the Viet Nam YMCA, as well as some of the school kids outside the classrooms.
Today we mostly did grouting, I can tell you that the Grouting jobs for the High Street Pool have paid off. Please look at the picture where Cathy is straddling the scaffolding, we are both going to try out for the summer Gymnastics Olympic team after we had to get up and down off of it. We had a great laugh about it!!!!
Mornings here start very early for many people. I went running this morning at 5:30am and many people were out opening up corner shops and people just out and aboutt. The sun usually comes up around 5:15am so its a pretty awesome thing to watch over the water. The drive that we take every day to get to the site amazes me more and more on what peoples living conditions are. The school we are working at doesn't have indoor plumbing and a little bit of electricity, they have windows and use the sunlight that comes in. people basically living on the side of the street and sleeping on a home made hammock as a bed.
Well that's it for now, and i apologize if these post don't flow very well, I am a little brain dead right now.
Take care and hopefully be able to write tomorrow!!!!
Okay I am envious! Cannot wait to see your pictures!
