Working Hard to Play Hard!

After seeing the amazing progress that we have been able to make these last couple of weeks, we decided that a realistic finishing date for the school would be August 1, 2012. When we talked to the construction workers, they also thought that date was a reasonable one. We have about two more weeks before the deadline, and we are on track to now finish the school within the next week! We have been going to Seya almost every day, and it has made such a huge difference. All the construction workers are very dedicated and work for about 8 hours each day. That is why we were able to build the structure so quickly!

The HELP volunteers have mostly been helping to fill the ground in the structure so that it is level with the foundation. We do this while the construction workers build up the walls, and it has been a group effort to get everything done. Thankfully the kids that go to school in Seya are very willing to help us volunteers; they work like machines! Sometimes we feel like it would just be easier to get out of there way and let them do work. We are grateful that they allow us to give them a hand :) We love Seya School!

The school now has it's walls up and we are now working on the beams of the roof! This school will be built in no time:)

Seya School - July 15th, 2012

Since we had been working so hard, we decided to take a good break this weekend and head to Jinja to raft the Nile River.  A group of about 12 people went whitewater rafting down the Nile River and also bungee jumped over the Nile!  They all had a great time.

Bungee Jumping!

 Rafting!

But now, it's the start of a new week and we are working hard again. :)
