Day 2

Howzitgoin! :) Day 2 already!!!! Arrgh

It is our second day on the trip. Mr Beacham was nice and gave us a sleep in until 7 am (even though the boys were up by 6.30). We had a scrumptious breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast with mango jelly (jam). After brekky we all headed up to the 'mango block' and smashed out a couple of hours of building, clearing land, cementing, rendering and transported the dirt elsewhere. This is all contributes to the building of 4 brand new classrooms. This was an awesome building exercise and Beacham wept tears of joy at how amazing Matt, Pete, Jessie and Kurt were (we guess everyone else did alright ;) ). Nick D was getting in touch with the local wildlife when he kissed an ant and got munched on by a lizard. While others tackled blisters, muscle cramps and the sweltering heat and humidity.

For merienda (meal break) we had Krispy Kreme Donuts then we continued on to our first rotations for the trip. These included swimming lessons in the new pool, a visit to the children's home and prepping for the feeding program by which we smashed out in a major group effort. Matt and Pete dominated in frisbying pencil packets and Kurt hit at least everyone twice in the head with an assortment of objects as we sorted through the mountain of donated stuff we carried over with us. We were all blown away by the amazing donations and we are all so thankful for the hundreds of people that contributed! (You all know who you are)

Next was our scrum-didly-umptious lunch which was chicken, black bean and rice. We all chill banged (relaxed) for a while and then smashed out another hour and half of building. This time there was more cementing, casually laying a road, cleared more land and lifted bricks to make walls. Mr Beacham was again reduced to tears and was sobbing on his knees at our bucketeering skills (inside joke).

Afterwards we had merienda which involved cheese whiz on skyflakes (Australian equivalent: cream cheese on salada's). We continued on with our group rotations which was the same as the morning ones, swimming lessons, children's home and blogging/devotion prep for the children's bed time tonight. We lovingly enjoyed our showers and chilling under the fans while everyone else worked. Dinner's still a mystery because we haven't had it yet.....??????
