It has been three weeks since we began construction in Namawongo slum working alongside Nacodo, and we have made some great progress. The project is building latrines at 2 different sites. Site A is now finishing completion of the substructure and will begin building the superstrucutre in a weeks time, after the slab is complete.

As we are working in the middle of the slum we are always surrounded by people interested in whats going on and children who are fascinated by the activity. Below is a picture of the area right below our construction site and some neighborhood kids who are often hanging around.
Last week, we began making blocks at our second site in the slum, Site B in Kasanvu Zone. The blockmakers have come over to Site B a week early to start making blocks and the masons will Shift to site B this week.
