day 2

Well, got cut off yesterday! Iffy WiFi!

Yesterday moved bricks all day! Today, mixed mortar and poured foundation for the porch area and a different morter for the brick wall of the additional room that is being built.

The reason we are at five different sites is because Habitat Sri Lanka works with homeowners in stages … A loan for the initial small 2 room house and when that is paid then another loan can be had to stucco or add a room etc.

The other thing we did today was first thing we walked with\from the local school to the Buddhist temple and lit oil lamps. It is Wesak tomorrow and Thurs which celebrates the birth, death and enlightenment of the Buddha. Since both days are holidays and no work, we will be having R and R for the next two days.

Sadly, the internet is so poor thaI am unable to post any photos … Will do so once home!!
