Today was my first time working on the construction site
with a group and they blew me away. There were so many projects going on at
once; it was structured chaos! We had people cutting wire, bending metal rods
and twisting them all together to create handmade rebar. We had people working
on the electrical wiring by balancing on 2 story ladders and support beams
(thankfully no one went kersplat!). Others were mixing cement by hand and
putting up the rebar or stacking bricks for the outside walls. Once people
finished one job, they would join another group or take over someone else’s job
so they could have water breaks. I could not believe how well everyone was
working together and not complaining about the hard work or heat. They have
truly been a blessing to work with. Towards the end of the workday, mostly
everyone had finished the smaller jobs and went to work on leveling the floor.
This involves shovelers, wheelbarrow pushers, and rakers (leveling all of the
dirt being wheeled in). Needless
to say everyone was working hard and ended the day tired and sweaty.
Update on the Medical
Brigade: The young boy with the infected foot was taken to the hospital
today and will have surgery on it tonight. Please pray for his surgery, road
for recovery, and the money the family will need to pay for the procedure.
