Day 4 arrived with rain. It was forecast, so we were not worried and as our work is indoors most of the time we were not going to be slowed by the weather.
Breakfast today was bacon and eggs, with an additional option of a special scrambled eggs, bacon and tomato mixture - delicious. We have an arrangement now for the Guest House family to provide brekkie every day (except Sunday), alternating between cooked bacon and eggs and fruit platters. For those that seek more fibre we have cereal. Our trip to the school was uneventful and the rain was easing off by the time we arrived and unloaded our security container. We have the container on site to store our tools and material safely when we are away from the school.
We now have four classrooms under various stages of renovation. We work in what has become five teams with some painting, some scraping and stripping, some cleaning, some doing windows, and some doing doors. The plan is to roll through the classrooms. The first classroom should be finished by the end of week one and then we aim to finish a classroom each day in the second week.
We learnt today why we are treated to such a huge and very yummy lunch each day. The school apparently has 5 geographical zones making up the areas where the students come from. The parents of each zone are providing the lunch on the different days As such there seems to be a bit of competition going on to see who can impress us the most. So far there is very little difference, everything has been excellent. Although the mums today were a lot more chatty, and were happy to advise that we had to try absolutely everything, and we would not be allowed to leave the room until we had. Needless to say the number of dishes made this impossible. One thing that is becoming a norm each day is the chilled coconuts that we are given to drink. The mums cut a small hole in the top and put a straw in and then give them to us to drink the coconut water in side.
