Construction moves to Vuaki...
Although considerably depleted following
the exit of the two-month volunteers a few weeks ago, the construction team
shaped up to be one of the most productive...
Under the instruction of our new
construction team leader, Ben, our tiny team of 3 was able to complete the
guttering on 3 different houses and build no less than 3 different concrete
bases in as many days, at the beautiful village of Navotua. The achievement would
not have been possible without the help if the amazing villagers who worked
with us in the blazing sun, making our experiences in the community even more
special.
In the week that followed, with our most
recent influx of volunteers, we were able to install down pipes to existing
tanks using an unconventional method of chiselling out holes, in the absence of
a working drill. After 3 days of completing installations
and site assessments at the new village, Vuaki, the rain came. Bad news for the
enthusiastic volunteers, brilliant new for those houses with 10,000 litre water
tanks filling to the brim with fresh water. Moving into the dry season this is job
well done in a successful month of construction.
