As yes, another day in the office. I've decided the office life here isn't so bad....for one thing I am never cold in the office plus I can wear whatever I want. The office can sometimes be a little loud though, like today. Today they began the fabrication of the first school. The fabrication is taking place in our yard where they cut the lumber and framed the walls and a couple roof tresses. It is amazing what a team of talented individuals can accomplish in one day. It was fun to sit in the "office" and look out the door and watch framing going on and hear saws and hammers and seeing saw dust float by.

The first school they are building with HODR funds and the plan is for to apply for grants to build more schools. In addition to building the school they are also building furniture for the school. I will take some photos of the desks and chairs...they are super cute. I will post them after I get home where the bandwidth can handle uploading photos. I guess there is an NGO that has asked HODR to submit a program (which I think equates to apply for a grant) so HODR can build more furniture. There have been a few different NGO's that have stopped by over the course of days to see what we are up to and one of them really liked the school furniture and would like to provide HODR funds to build the furniture.

The good news is that I finally got all the data converted and uploaded into the new system. Now I just need to work on getting everything reconciled. I know there were a few errors in the upload. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a quick process.

Well, I'm off to take my cold water bucket shower!
