Cleaning and painting was the project for today. The dust on the doors and windows was so thick at times it was hard to distinguish cement from dirt. There are no hoses... so spraying down the doors and windows was not and option. Scrubbing was done with bamboo hand brooms and rinsed with a watering can. It's so warm everything dries before you can even rinse. Michelle, Alison and Val pose for this photo before getting back to work.
But as you can see, painting did get done and new friends were made. This is Julie with Paul, the parent/teacher coordinator. Paul wears a suit for everything including today's project. His suit took on a new pattern when he backed into a freshly painted pole...sorry Paul we just couldn't get the paint out.
Lori and Ann are tackling the over 20 poles around the campus. Sanding and then applying two coats of paint.
Wallie going for another container of paint.
Lunch was catered in by VICODEC. All you could eat rice and lentils.
Some of the older girls who helped clean windows and doors.
Tomorrow, work again early in the morning and then a special visit to Kibera. The largest slum in Kenya.
