Another great day shifted hundreds more bricks and there were walls going up round about us good to see the community centre taking shape .Beginning to recognise some spanish words and the construction workers are picking up some english too.Watching the kids playing on the swings at lunch in the middle of the building site cant see that happening in the uk .Also got lots of photos of the kids who just love getting their photo taken and they must see it on the camera screen afterwards.Going into one of the schools tommorrow to teach some english which should be fun .Really looking forward to climbing Cotopaxi on saturday.Hello home hope you are all ok hello Hattonlea see you all soon.Cant say i will be sorry if i never see another brick or a chain of people passing bricks .

Hi Jeni
Looking good and hard at work I see. Did notice you were looking after the dog at one point! Now that you have some skill in bricklaying there will be plenty jobs for you when you get home! Everyone doing well at home – spoke to Rachael yesterday. Its amazing to read the “blog” and hope you enjoy the weekend. Best wishes to all the team who are working hard at such a worthwhile task. Love from us all – Mum xx
