At the end of the second day we felt a bit clueless - we thought there was far too much to be done and weren't sure wether we could finish the job on time , so at soon as we got to the school we gave each other jobs and a list of all that needed to be done and just got on with it! Beth F, Nyasha and Seb finished painting the windows while Beth Selfe, Angie, Sophie and the rest of the group finished the interior painting .
Whilst everyone was painting I started on the plumbing and with alot of effort we were moving forward very fast . When some people finished painting they started cleaning the windows. Beth f , Angie , Sophie and I did some wonderful
art on the walls and when we finished the class rooms they looked great! The kids now have a newly painted nursery unit which looks 10 times better than it did originally. The plumbing I had done was successful so they had a working hand washing section for the first time in a long time.
We re-arranged the class room to how it was but it just looked so much better at the end of the day we got a vote of thanks from the deputy head teacher and the Captain Leonard who works in the chapel at the school.
We were proud of what we did because the classrooms looked so much better - however, we saw the big difference between their facilities and what we have in England. Even though we worked hard there was that feeling of "umm right we did good but there is still more to be done" . We did a good job I just felt the feeling that I want to come back and do so much more because they are such wonderful children and they deserve so much more than what they have.
Goodreach the Plumber :-)
