Starting at eight, meant that breakfast was at 6:30, and we were on the bus around 7. The soccer game last night meant that there was lots of noise around us, so no one had a great sleep. We also have two birthdays today, Shannon and Amber.
Arriving in the village of 900 or so that is the complex Linda, we were greeted by the site supervisors and many many children calling out "Muzunga, Muzunga!" which means white person, and is not
meant in a derogatory manner. We split into two teams and got right to it! Lunch was at the Linda school, and a bus full of Muzungas created quite a stir! Back to work in the hot sunshine, and we worked so well today that Paul let us call it a day at 3:30. We will be in three teams for the rest of the week, and really hope to finish all three houses to the point that the pros can put the roof on after we leave.
We are blown away by the warmth and friendliness of the Zambian people, and in particular, in the
wide eyed curiosity if the children!
