Today we finished digging out the units and I got to brush off dirt/dust from the excavation site in one of the units. I’m happy that the all of the units have finally been dug out and excavation can finally begin.
We got to take showers afterward! The water was cold and the flap to the tarp did not close all the way so we only spent roughly 20 seconds in the water on average, but it was worth it. It feels amazing to be clean.
As the sun was setting, we played with the kids. We took their pictures (and a few adults asked to have their photo, too), but after a while we had to say enough. The kids begin to grab at our arms and cameras, eager for us to take and show more photos. we met a few of the kids and tried to learn their names. They played volleyball and patty-cake with us. Eventually it was pretty dark and an older guy told them to go home.
