WEEK TWO JUNE 22-28 THE DRIVE AND NTULYA

The crazy Americans are always trying to stretch the day.  On Sunday, Aimee, Jill, Jake and Valerie woke up at the crack of dawn to drive across the Serengeti (a 6 hour drive) and to Ntulya (an additional 5 hour) all in one day.  Valerie states that it was interesting to experience the Serengeti and all the animals for the first time driving across it as fast possible in a Land Rover.  After arriving in Ntulya, the village where the primary educational school is being built, the four of us were off and running.  First, we met with surveyors, who we had hired prior to arriving, to survey the land which Africa Schoolhouse purchased from the village to build the school.  Next, Jill and Valerie walked the purchased plot of land and started the process of laying out the four classrooms before Jill had to return to the States.  Then, we interviewed a highly recommended contractor Pius to possilby aid in the construction of the primary school.
