We got to the school and it was just a structure made out of wood. There were men mixing mud with their feet. They began making little mud pies for us to start filling in the walls. They underestimated how much mud we could carry. They all thought us Mzungus didn't know how to work and that we weren't very strong. But we showed them.
We just took piles of mud and plopped them right into the walls. to cover some of the wood we would take a handful and just throw it at the wood. It was the best part. So satisfying to hear the PLOP and have it stick in the exact place you wanted it to. So fun!
The men that were mixing the mud were so nice and such hard workers! For some reason they would always make the mud piles smaller just for me and gently place them in my hands as if trying hard not to hurt me. What a kind gesture.
Erin and I really bonded well passing mud in our assembly line. We were giggling so much I'm such we hurt more than helped the line by slowing it down and dropping lots of mud. Sorry team..
Such a fun yet exhausting couple days. The school looks great and the kids came and helped yesterday and we were so amazed at how helpful they were! They were so excited for their new school!
Yea, Mzungus can be hard workers too!
What an exciting two days. Exhausting, but so exciting. I love Uganda.
