Howdy Folks!
Today the greenhouse crew almost completed covering the greenhouse in netting, the only issue is that the netting doesn't quite match the length of the greenhouse so we will have to acquire more netting to sow into what we have. In addition to this, in the morning we weren't able to start laying the netting over the greenhouse so much of the greenhouse crew played games with the children, these games include but are not limited to football (soccer for the uneducated) and volleyball.

Hey Mom and Dad!
Miss you both so much - we are 8 days in and doing really well! Today was a heavy and emotional one. Today, we accomplished a million and one tasks all at once. From sewing shade netting, fixing the play set (putting the wooden ladder back and the tire swing back up - shout out Jack for the weight test), sorting our many donations in the community center, finishing up the pre-school panting. Today I worked on finishing the color wall with Bekah and it is looking so good. Then in the afternoon, I worked on the shade netting - which will be getting finished tomorrow by our volunteer friends. Tears were finally shed by many of us and it's starting to hit us. There are so many more words I would like to say but this will do for now.
PS.- I am now skilled in cleaning windows with nothing but alcohol wipes and a microfiber towel
Much Love, Lexie Mae
Hiya!
The H4H site has progressed incredibly well! With the windows in and puddy-ed up, the Inside walls have been almost fully plastered. Unfortunately, we will not be able to finish it ourselves because of our schedule but the Local builders will finish it for us. Be on the lookout for photos/updates in the next couple days before we leave Ramabanta. The house also has had some yard work done and a 1-1-1-meter hole has been dug in the back and filled with stones to allow her to dump dirty water into. The purpose of the hole is to allow dirty water to be filtered through before it sinks into the ground and returns to the local well. The building is going well but it has been a very emotional day for everyone. Although we are divided, All of us are feeling a sense of sadness as we begin to pack our things and leave Ramabanta Tuesday morning. This place has become our home in Lesotho, and it has touched our hearts.
