Today is the start of the villagers' house repairs and construction works.
The team is divided to into 2 groups: House repair and toilet construction. We set off for work after our breakfast!
The house repairs include coating on a fresh paint, built-in windows and doors, remove old tiles, and demolish the old ones for replacement. Toilet construction included adding on brick walls, installed the toilet bowl seat as the owner of the family members are having difficultues squatting down. The family of six has been showering in an open area for a long period of time.
Oliver is learning in process to nail the plywood.
The guys were hard at work to bring the 50kg ring down the trench. The purpose is for waste to travel into the ring as it was asssumed that the waste will seep through the earth groung and dispose. It was six feet high! This is something i had never seen in Singapore before.
Muscular Isa helped to dispose the excess earth soil and underground water from the deep deep 'well'. This is our first time to experience construction work. It was really not easy as it seemed to be.
