Photos from the Building Team & the cement mixers

This is an assortment from the building team, of the work they have done over the course of the trip.





The two cement mixers were particularly neat. They are very heavy duty tarpaulins with handles on each side. The sand and cement is put onto them, then between two and four people grab the handles and rock/shake the tarpaulin to mix the sand and cement and gravel. water is added and the process continues, until the mixture is is ready for use. This mixes everything much more effectively than using shovels and is an ideal tool for the developing world. They also fit easily into a suitcase.
