Day 18 - Saturday

Following the late night celebrations at the beach bar and around the camp fire everyone was given the luxury of a very welcome lie-in. Rob had a fantastic birthday as did everyone else who helped him to celebrate!

Then it was back to work as normal at 8am for some who chose to do the early shift. There were three shifts throughout the morning and people chose their area of interest/specialism to work on for just over 2 hours. This helped to move the projects on greatly as two more classrooms had their floors screeded, three classrooms were given 2nd coats of paint and the building was really starting to take shape as the three levels became evident.

It is amazing to watch the building take shape and to see our students working so closely with the local community developing skills and friendships. At about 2pm everyone knocked off for the day to take advantage of the good weather and beautiful beach! The table tennis table is getting good use despite being a lot shorter and wider than a standard table with a ball that camouflages itself perfectly against the backdrop. For those who prefer board games there is quite a competitive monopoly league and backgammon competition taking place alongside the standard card games to keep everyone entertained.

Tonight there will be a jamming session led by the students as the owner of Escape 3 Points has organised some instruments and a sound system to facilitate the music!

Tomorrow will see us working in the morning and then taking advantage of the beautiful deserted beach after lunch...
