I know I haven’t posted in a while…sorry about that. I just didn’t
get around to it. I think if I post every day it will just be repetitive, so I
am going to post less frequently than before.
On Friday I bought some paint to cover over an awful and
completely inaccurate map of Swaziland that World Challenge painted. As a
geography enthusiast, seeing wrong maps makes me cringe. I bought some cream
paint to match the walls, as well as some coloured paint.
On Saturday I went on All-Out’s highlights tour. It included
the second largest rock in the world, the oldest mine in the world, zip lining,
a glass factory, and the untimely death of my camera. We stayed overnight in an
incredibly remote part of Swaziland, where it was very windy.
Yesterday we worked on the building site. I began to work
with James, my new roommate from the UK. He will be here for two months,
meaning he will go around the same time as me. Before coming to Swaziland he
was volunteering in Thailand.
The building is essentially finished. Today the doors and
windows were installed, and I began to paint a map of Africa with flags on the
wall. On Thursday there will be a ceremony for its completion, with the special
guests of Roland and the village elders.
I have a bit of a cold, but I am excited to go to work
tomorrow. I think the map will be finished, as well as the rest of the
building.
Tata!
