Thursday, the fourth day

The morning sunrise over the
mountains was today's greeting:

More of the same work ongoing. Some houses have begun the roofs and others are finishing up the plastering. House 16 had a resuffle on its crew and seven people were moved to this house. It is one of the largest being built and desperately needed more crew on site.

An updated group photo was taken.


HOUSE # 16, HOUSE LEADER, BOB

Getting to House 16 requires a short uphill trek which winds around a pond. Toads are frequently spotted in the pond, but on this day, local folks had the water buffalo cooling off in the pond. How incredible is this! Seven water buffalo out for a swim! As the animals were approached, a woman owner called to her 3 animals and they moved closer to where she was sitting at shoreside.
