All night long it has been pouring with rain and it makes a terrific noise on the corragated iron roof of the bungalow. It is still pouring with rain as we attempt to make our way to the school. The roads are flooded and there is a torrent of water pouring of the mountainside bringing with it a whole load of debris. After negotiating several inpromptu rivers of water we finally arrive at the school.
Our plan works well but our promised supply of hardware fails to materialise. In addition we find that a whole lot of wood which was going to be cut is under several inches of water and is a write off. However we persevere with preparation by drilling holes and cutting more wood. Then shortly after 12 there is a power cut......
This lasts until about 2.30 and puts back our schedule. We finish what we can do at 4.30 and some volunteers agree to return in the evening to carry on with the work.
Dinner at the Jetty is rounded off with a cup of locally grown coffee
