Piga lipu

We have been so busy building the health post that I forgot to update our blog! We're already in the finishing stages now-the major one of which is plastering the interior walls, or 'piga lipu' in Swahili. A few of the trials and tribulations we faced along the way have been: 1) Getting my mobile office (backpack with laptop and files) stolen out of the side window of our truck-while driving 2) Having our 27ft long custom made trusses on the health post blown over in a big wind storm 3) No rain-this is actually good for construction but bad for everyone around because they depend on the food they grow. On the whole, everything is going much smoother in our second big project because we had a plan BEFORE we started it! We learned a lot from building the school.
