Mixing concrete for the floors.
Having too much fun at the work site!
After work, we went to a local school. Half of the children are from families that pay to send them to school. The other half of the children are from poor families. Due to the paying families, the less fortunate children are given the opportunity to be educated and to receive some health care. Many of the families of these children were victims of the landslide just over a year ago or from the earthquake almost a decade ago. It was interesting to observe the children who do not pay (in the yellow shirts) seeming to receive much less education than the paying children (in the blue shirts). We played tag, or mika with the children until we couldn't breathe.

Thank you for the donations of toys and supplies - the school greatly appreciated them.
Later at night there was a tremor - I didn't feel it, but I noticed the barbed wire surrounding the hotel vibrating back and forth!!
