On Monday, a holiday here in South Africa (it's Women's Day), the volunteers got together to rebuild the school called Shack 10, in the heart of Capricorn Township. Using money raised by several volunteers we accomplished a good amount of work in a single day.
Many hands make for light work and we cleaned out the entire area, digging out the sand that was littered with debris and glass, we created a vegetable garden, rebuilt the playground, put new roofing up, painted, and put down new concrete flooring. We turned an unusable building into a classroom, effectively doubling the amount of space available to the teachers.
There still a bit to be done, but I'm so proud of everything that was accomplished.
