Day Two at the Kibera Work Site

Ryan: Construction in Kenya is unlike anything I have ever seen! Having previous knowledge of construction is a double-edged sword. On one hand, I do not have to play in the mud, but my carpentry skills are in demand. The work is physically challenging as everything is done by hand. Today we started to build the roof trusses. It took us all day to cut and assemble seven trusses. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to help the Fundi (construction crew) set the trusses on the center. I am looking forward to seeing how much is done when we return tomorrow. It has been amazing to see everyone working so hard and how much progress we have made in such a short time!
