A big day on site this morning preparing for the arrival of the concrete truck which managed to drive through power-lines in haste when the villagers had a chance to use excess concrete - luckily no one was hurt!
Tarli did a super job coordinating a game of very noisy charades with class 3 and 4. Riley and Byron, with help from Tane and Noah, played games with kinder kids (Whats the time Mr Wolf, Pirates Treasure, Duck Duck Goose) and footy with the bigger kids. The girls continued in their classroom.
Matt had a local haircut and visited the hardware store en route to work today. He also gave the men a chainsaw lesson - teaching them basic chainsaw maintenance and safety. We are not sure if he remembered to advise on steel caps and safety glasses!
After digging 3 great holes in the kinder ground we found out they were in the proposed garden area and had to fill them in and dig some more - all in good spirits.
The team had a great time at the Radisson Blu Hotel on Tuesday afternoon. The kids were famished and exhausted after a day at school and then hours on the waterslide. This resulted in a scramble for delicious spring rolls and pad thai at the Radisson's new Thai restaurant. All slightly delirious laughing at the small sizes of the meals in comparison to the generous Fijian lunches
The afternoon was actually a great opportunity for the team to see the contrasting worlds within Fiji and the kids all commented on the differences observed.
Noah's bedtime quote - "Can I have a sleep day all day tomorrow. The days are soooo long and the nights are just too short", we had to wake him up in the morning by standing him up and walking him around.
