Monday 20th June
The morning was spent finishing our job on the house, which was satisfying. In the afternoon we went to another house that was in a very different state, and gave us our first real understanding of the tougher work. This house had mounds of debris and mud to be cleared from both inside and outside the property. We got straight to work, separating breakable items, mud and other debris into various bags, which was a painstaking task, as there was so much glass and shattered crockery to carefully pull from the mud piles.
After a long and hot working day we retired to Kasuka and exchanged experiences with the other groups after hosing down our wheelbarrows and tools.
It was satisfying to clear and finish just one mound – which could take half a day or more.
