The students have all been working extremely hard in the classroom teaching and then in various jobs around the school. They have become a well oiled machine of grit and determination seeing all too clearly how much needs to be done in such a brief amount of time. Yesterday was particularly grueling with most students having a turn in the trench, digging down to one meter and half a meter in width. The task was made even more challenging by the oppressive heat, but the faces of the students observing kept them going as did the encouraging words of Mr Clarke who spent a lot of time leaning on his shovel in true foreman style!

I was installing hooks for the mozzie nets with students in the dormitory whilst Russ and Ms Clancy were picking up all of the pipe work for the water project and haggling hard with Damas to get the best deals.
Mr Clarke took games in the afternoon with 90 students and 8 balls! Our students again shone, mostly with perspiration, and I think they are starting to realize how challenging teaching can be!
