I built a wall today

A 9 foot mud wall. A new volunteer arrived on sunday from US. She's a paler, blonder, taller version of Neerja! Their accent, expressions, smile and attitude to life is freakishly alike. She is 45 and is a social worker and builder. Then again I don't think Neeraja would make a very good builder.

She got really excited by the new building site and the mud architecture and eco friendly construction. The next day she had rolled up her sleeves and and was right into it. I followed her lead and started working with her at the new site. It's been incredible - It's like licence to roll around in mud AND it's good excercise. So each morning I'll spend 4 hours working at the construction site and getting proper dirty.
