Muzungo’s Painting

After a hearty breakfast of pancakes, eggs and pineapple, Rob, Sam and I went to work on painting the 2nd coat of bright white paint on the walls of the girl’s room. We had a great time getting to know each other more and asking questions. At times I think there was more pain on me then on the wall and trim I was painting. After lunch of guess what, beans and rice, we started in on clean and preparing the 2nd room in the girls quarters for painting. We had to take down these useless wooden brackets that were all over the room. It was actually pretty fun to do demolition with the flat bar and hammer. We are making that room a study room for the girls. We took a break and then it was on to painting the 1st coat of paint in that room. By the time we were finished the 2nd coat of paint was done drying and we were able to move the girl’s new bright pink, triple-decker bunk beds into the room. It was so cool to see them in there! What was even more exciting was to see the reaction of the girls when they came home from school. They were so thankful!! They kept saying, wabala, Auntie, wabala. Which means thank you, thank you! 
