Hard Work

Our second day in Vietnam was met with some sleepy faces after some decided Karoke was in order last night. Breakfast was like the day before, friends anticipating the busy day ahead.    It was a boring ride to the build site and a light drizzle of rain began. Of course we had to work despite the conditions, but it ended just as we began to work, and we were split back into our original posts for first few minutes. As we switched between the jobs, most have moved to the un-finished house which needed digging to prepare to fill foundations. I switched between having to create metal supports for the concrete to set and hammering metal bars, to digging non-stop. The majority of people were assisting in digging the trenches of the undemolished house, in which the sun was blazing down on us and forcing us to take constant breaks, while many of us tried to brave the heat and do much more before stopping. - Tharon
