Thursday 6/20/13

We visited the construction site of the hotel that Uncle Boyd is helping with. On our walk there we saw some boys playing soccer!
We also saw a man herding his cows and goats.
At the construction site they do not have any of the modern building technology that we have, so the process is very slow. They dug out the foundation completely by hand.
The dirt is hauled away in 5 gallon buckets on women's heads. Cement is poured in the same way, no cement truck. The men make 5-10 dollars a day while the women make 4.
A day is 12 hours but the people get really tired by the end so they are working on doing a shift schedule where they only work 8 hours.

    Were you able to talk to any of the workers? What do they pack for lunch?

    I didn't talk to any of the workers, but I did talk to a man who was supervising. I believe there is a kitchen on site. I don't know what they bring, but that is available to them for their meals.
