Days 8-10

Our main goal on these days was to get the semi-permanent tents functional. Before this could happen the ground had to be levelled and measured- an ongoing saga because we have tried so many methods and all to no avail. Hopefully we will get this right.



Zimasile is one of our night security guards, but he is also a keen crafts man. He made this beautiful walking stick by knotting a young tree then allowing it to mature, before harvesting it for future use.



The soil under our feet here at Lulutho is perfect for making mud bricks. We will use these to construct our permanent buildings.



We have converted a room in one of the Wendy houses (wooden huts) into an office. This is where Rachel Docherty, one of our interns spends her time managing this blog.



When sunlight dwindles and some of our team members go home, the boys have their fun with the football on the lush green pastures of Lulutho.



While the girls run for their cameras and capture the moments.
