To show the workers we appreciate their hard work, we went over to the building site and we asked the Hostel kids to hand out drinks to the workers. The workers saw they are valued and for whom they are actualy making this building and the kids realized that miracles most of the time don't grow overnight.

Building the walls on ground floor

while others still work on the roof they started to build the walls on the ground floor. Here you see them working on the senior unit.

On the left you see that ladies do perfectly fine in the construction world. They are half the size of me, but work very hard.

safety?!

Safety is very subjective. Those guys walk over the roof on slippers and it looks like their walking through the mall. Not my kind of job.
