If it's Monday, this must be Uganda!

Monday we started in on our post Youth Camp activities and tasks.  We started the day by traveling to a very remote village to build a house for a widowed grandmother who has twin grandkids in the program.  They currently are living in a hut that is very in great need of replacement.

The brick houses here are made of homemade bricks which are wider and thicker than what we have in the states, but also very brittle.  When we arrived on the site most of the foundation had been laid with these bricks and the masons were hard at work finishing it up.  We got to work moving bricks around the foundation to have them ready to build into walls.  We shoveled and mixed sand, water and cement for the mortar and generally helped (though we wouldn't be able to do any of the brick laying).  The site was visited by many of those in the village and area.  There were tons of kids and some desperately wanting to help us.

In the afternoon most of the team went into the pineapple field to weed while I worked with the Office staff on some computer issues and solutions.  

For the evening the ladies decided they wanted a "girls" night. So our three ladies stayed over at the compound with Ruth and her 4 girls and Alf came to Tororo to have the reverse "guys" night.   The ladies partaking of funnel cakes and bacon while the guys partook of some CS Lewis style treats. Much wonderful fellowship and fun was had at both sites.
