Yesterday, we worked very hard, but it took a lot of time in order to make sure everything was straignt and square, so we didn't quite make as much progress as we wanted to.
We ended earlier that normal, because our hosts had planned the traditional "Whole Cow" celebration for us to show us their gratitude. It was a lot of fun, and we saw lots of traditional Rwandan dancing and singing, good food (goat I think........?) and then back to the hotel around 10:00.
The folks that chose to stay at the dormitory have had a rough go of it, as Kibagabaga (the hill the school sits on), ran out of water about 3 days ago. We had planned to check out of our hotels this morning and move into the dorms, but between a long hard day today, and the dormitory folks having gone without showers for several days, prompted us to stay the last night, even though we are going to check out about 1:15 in the morning.
We are moving a little faster this morning, and had hoped to finish all of the walls, but as you can see from the pictures, I think we are going to fall short.
A number of the builders and VBS folks took this morning to go see the wildlife at Rwanda's national park. Neale and Chris had both planned to go, but had alarm malfunctions (they had to be at the car by 5:00 am), and didn't make it. Their help on the building site is much welcomed.
This will probably be my last entry, as we plan to work until dark, and then need to hustle back to the hotel to pack and shower.
Tomorrow night will be spent in London, then home by Monday night.
As much as I enjoy doing this, it has been a long, hot trip, and I am ready to hold my family.
