20.12.13 Friday. Work begins at Naata



All schools finish today for the Christmas break and Naata is no exception.  The plan is to dig the new soak-away for the new toilet block, build a storeroom, repaint the classrooms, paint the outer wall,  and get all the work completed before the new term begins.  Kebba and Sanaba have got a team of boys together to do the work and so the digging commenced this morning. Steve took a delivery of wood for the new roof down on the old truck, we sorted out supplies of cement and made sure the boys had everything they needed before returning home. We spent the rest of the day preparing for the holidays and our next arrival of guests.  Steve is busy planting lots more vegetables in the garden, so we should be almost self sufficient come the new year.  We decided to eat at home and had just started preparing a meal when Musa arrived with our new truck, much excitement, it looks splendid and sounds very quiet compared to our old one. We inspected it inside and out, and then Musa joined us for a coffee and a piece of Christmas cake before leaving with the old truck to pass on to it’s new owner.   We ate a quick meal after he left and then retired early.
