On a brighter note, we finished constructing and building the walls today! I think I finally mastered the tedious art of hammering the stupid four inch nails. Now we need to install the windows, put up the zinc side panels, and install the actual toilets! The sun was out today, so we all got a bit of a tan. The children were also able to be with us outside, and play on the playground that the previous ISV group built.
This is my online journal of my adventure through South Africa with International Student Volunteers. I am volunteering in a rural community called Chintsa, then taking a road trip around the East Side of the county, into Mozambique. You will see pictures, and descriptions of what I am seeing and doing! I hope you enjoy!

6/8
On our way to the project site we saw a rhino! It was too far away to get a good picture, but it was very cool to see a wild one on our regular route. Professionals will cut off the horns of wild rhinos to prevent them from being poached. There has been a rumor going around Africa that the rhino horn will cure the flu, so they are being killed more than ever.

I was bragging about your new nail-hammering skills and was asked "But how many hits does it take her"?.....
