Times Two

The second block of classrooms is rising as fast as the first and the brickwork for both is now finished! The next step is to put on the metal roof and plaster over the walls.
The level of participation from the village has been overwhelming. Both men and women show up to work everyday and don't stop until the sun goes down. We've got enough gravel for now to finish these two blocks. Things couldn't be going better!
It's an amazing feeling to stand between the two buildings, watching the work being done, and feel such a sense of pride and accomplishment.

wow, things are going along super fast, Mary! Love that first image too...it looks photoshopped with the 'wild life' in the front and the perfect sky in the background!

Dear Mary, I used my phone to get satellite vires of Tongo! I could see the village compounds, but not the school - probably because I don't knoe where to look.

Meanwhile, we are cheering for all of you!
