Five weekers - working and playing hard

Alpha 7 also had visitors from Fieldbase this week and as with all of the groups, seemed rather more excited about the mobile shop than anything else! They hosted a very glamourous dinner party, where the girls fashioned evening dresses from bin liners and the boys made bow ties from gaffa tape – showing that a little imagination and a few Raleigh essentials go a long way! They then served a three course meal of bread and hummus, pasta and apple crumble and custard which John and Denise (two of the dinner guests) are still talking about.

Alpha 6 has been working hard on the playground at Onameya and have just finished the monkey bars. However they appear to have been trying to set some sort of record for the amount of tools broken on a project site and are single handedly keeping our suppliers in business! Nikki was also counting down the days until the arrival of Denise with the mobile shop so that she could feed her Diet Coke addiction.

In spite of some questionable meals served up by Project Manager Rob, Alpha 5 has managed to have a very nice time visiting the animals at Harnas. They even got to feed the cheetahs on one occasion and have started a new project which involves building a lion enclosure which they are all quite excited about. They had a rest day giving each other massages and playing football and they have all realised very quickly that going to the gym is no substitute for hours spent wielding mattocks and wrecking bars!
