DAY 5:

Today was a bit more laid back of a day, which was fine as we needed to recuperate and re energize.  In the morning Andy went a tour of the new housing building that is being erected.  It was interesting to see the different methods of construction and safety procedures from what we have in the states.  There were no hard hats to be found, guys chiseling stone without safety glasses, a man welding without a mask, and the scaffolding was made of large tree branches.  But it gets the job done here and overall they were doing a pretty good job. In the pictures below you will see the non-uniform sizes of lumber that they have to deal with. Also, a picture of the welder and the building with the scaffolding.

In the early afternoon, the girls practiced their chameleon catching skills and finally got comfortable enough to hold them. 

Later in the afternoon we took all of the girls over to the pediatric ward.  They had all worked the day before on a 10' long banner that they had painted for the kids there.  We hung it on the wall in the hallway across from the ward so they could look out the windows and see the bright colors.

Kim also went for a 3 mile run with Heather and 2 other girls at 6:00 am this morning.  She was a bit worried about the altitude and hills around here, but she made it.  And Robin you will crack up at this, but Kim was informed that she needed to wear a skirt while running too.  No shorts.  We are going to try to get a picture of that when they run next time.
