13/4/2017 3 Comments Last day of the build...The last day of work!! A refreshing shower woke us up in the morning. It was the first time we had to work in the rain. At the worksite, a soft wind kindly protected us from the heat. It was a tiring, yet very peaceful day. Shoveling the cement, passing the bricks and laying them down as if putting pieces in right places on a puzzle. We repeated this set of work. Very simple work, but involving energy and team work. Our last meal at the "dog restaurant" was filled with a lot of food, as usual. Although we were all tired of having two weeks of Vietnamese lunches, the restaurant family healed our heavy bodies from the work with their warm welcome. We left the restaurant saying good bye to Scrappy, their cute old dog named by Diogo. Now, the wall, which started from zero centimeters last week, have reached over my head. A house was actually formed by our hands. I really appreciate the big help from the local people at the site; wonder woman, tiny strong woman, Minh, the family, and many other neighbors and babies who cheered us up. And we wish them their every happiness in their new home.
