Day 17: Monday, February 6

Today I did DEMOLITION!!!! So there was a family whose store/house was essentially just rubble and brick walls and the government gave them about 2 weeks to clear the land or they would lose it, so we finished breaking down walls, pulling up the tile and clearing the rubble. There were some brick walls, concrete pillars, and the floor was tile, so we had to get rid of everything and level it down to the dirt. Today was almost the last day, so all we had to do was finish taking down three pillars and the brick wall. I got to use the pick ax which was really fun because I just got to hit a wall as hard as you can. It's very emotionally therapeutic. Then I got to use the jack hammer, which was so much fun but very heavy.

Around 1:00 these sweet old ladies brought us homemade lunch which was of course delicious. Then Kathryn, one of the Australians, and I went to Senati to teach. :)

Then we had dinner and bed time. woo!
