After slaving on the ruble filled garden for a few days we were more than happy to have extra help, in addition to the FFC boys who assist us as often as their schooling and chores allow. On the morning of 27th of February, the year is obvious, a group of seven young men and women from our church arrived helped us clear out the a portion of the area behind the new building, still in process of being completed.
For a couple of hours we worked, removing large stones and chunks of old cement, who knows how long it has been sitting here.
Also, lumps and ditches were leveled and filled, while some sifted through the rocky soil, extracting junk and debris.
Here is a nice project that they helped us start, but we either have to find something bigger than a hatchet or dedicate a month to this project
Then, of course, nothing in life is complete without a good meal to enjoy. Fresh homemade watermelon juice to defy the solar furry of the day, and some hot chapatis and omelets to fill the belly. All who participated enjoyed not only the food, but the work as well.
The grand moral of the story whenever you work hard and do something nice for someone you always have a good feeling inside, sometimes right about where your stomach is. Okay, you wont always get fed, but there is nothing like working outside in God's good nature and beautifying those area already wreck by men's "ingenious" constructions.
Oh no! David the Post Host forgot to dig a post hole...I guess you will just have to ready because you never know when he will post again.
