Day 5: 7/07/17 –
Yesterday, shortly after a breakfast of pancakes, we were split into two groups. One for masonry and one for carpentry, ready for some hard work. Before we started project work, we went into groups consisting of math, English and RS and then got straight to work. This tested us as many people were smashing bricks and carrying heavy sand buckets. We also sanded and varnished tables for the canteen. It was heavy going, but we believe that all this hard work will be beneficial to Dutch Komenda community as well as building on our own work ethic! We then enjoyed going to the sea, some of us getting absolutely soaked including me. After the beach, we came back to the school and there was a bonfire waiting for us. At the bonfire we danced and sang with our buddies to the drums, and Mr Pickup told stories to the little kids. That night we were all tired and slept well.
