We were up at 6am and grabbed a quick breakfast from the buffet on the way out. Not feeling too bad despite very little sleep in the last couple of days. We met Sinn at 7am and jumped in a couple of Tuk-tuks to the nursery and school. It was only a 15 minute drive out of town to Treak village. There were already a few children playing in the playground when we arrived and there was just enough time for a quick game of football before James and I headed for the building site. We left Gill and Anna at the school but not before we dropped off some new books, clothes and toys for the kids. We also had some new toys for Sinn which he seemed quite pleased with. Sinn, James and I arrived at the building site which is another 15 minutes further out of town. . Sinn explained that they are no longer just building houses on the land owned by the monks, but they are finding plots of land to buy and build on for suitable families who are having difficulties. They also vet the families which includes a credit check. The plot we were working on was being built for a family with 4 children who are currently living in a flimsy wooden box about 10 feet square. It is about 1 foot off the ground and the are chickens and ducks living underneath. The father is a builder and has been helping with the build for the last couple of weeks to get the frame in place. He has had to go back out to work to earn some money today. We are joined on the project by 3 girl backpackers, Sarah, Izzi and Thali, from London and Sinn's business partner, Georgia. The girls are are on a gap year and found the project by doing a google search. They had already been here 2 weeks and had seen the project right from the start. They spent the day whittling bamboo with machete knives whilst James, Sinn and I put a tin roof on. Standing on a wobbly board suspended 20 feet off the ground felt a bit precarious but fortunately it took my weight alright. James was doing a fantastic job passing us corrugated sheets of aluminium and concrete roof ties up to Sinn and I. It was more than 40 degrees and incredibly humid, but Georgia had a cool box full of ice cold water on hand to quench our thirst. The site is right opposite a duck farm which has a very strong smell and made both James and I gag. However we did get used to it as the day went on. The whole day was also accompanied the the sound of constant announcements on a nearby PA system. At first I thought it was a horse racing commentary but it turned out to be of monks praying in a nearby temple. It's a good job we don't speak Khmer otherwise we may have been converted by the end of the day! We finished off the morning building a frame to hold the palm leaves which will make up the walls. We have another 16 panels to make and fit in the next 3 days and we are really up against the clock to finish this week. If we can finish by Friday we will get one of the monks to do a Bhuddist water blessing on Saturday. We are really hoping that we can do this as it would be a great end to the week. Plus everyone is leaving the project this week so we really need to finish.
