The master build continues…

It was another early start for all of us in the land of the Bok. Up at 5.30am and on-site for 6 ready for more building of picnic tables, pergolas and painting. More digging to start the day for the pergola team and after an hour and a half it was all done – THANKFULLY! It was then into constructing the frame and on with the roof.

The painting team worked hard completing on doors and frames. They then moved onto using their creative side by designing butterflies on the girls doors and moving onto the boys doors tomorrow.

The picnic table team moved ever so closer to completing their 4 picnic tables with the students using all of their mathematical, building and logical skills to great effect.

Knock off at 4pm meant more fun times with the kids of JJ Haven. With ‘street’ netball being played and the forming of a make shift hair salon where many of the students (both boys and girls) for their hair braided.

To finish the day we all moved to a big shed where we cooked a braai for 110 people with meats such as boerewors, pork sausage, chicken and pork kebab sticks, a ‘whole’ lamb from the butcher cut up and plenty of salads. Whilst braaing – which took 4 hours – we were entertained by all the children and students singing and dancing. We were also fortunate enough to have young 19 year old girl Asha play her guitar while serenading us with her wonderful voice. By 9.30 and with very full bellies, we all trudged off to bed to get our well earned rest before another busy day tomorrow.

Ndimkile (in Xhosa = goodbye).
