What we’ll be doing : making cement, plastering walls, laying tiles, doing the dishes, helping prepare meals, painting walls, sanding and varnishing doors and shutters, collecting sand, cleaning the site and playing with the village children.
In the evenings, all the Thai and Swiss students will gather to play games and have fun.
Temperatures are high and we will work approximately 8 hours a day on the construction site.
We will sleep under a roof in two-person tents acting as mosquito nets.
The shower and toilets are very rudimentary (buckets of water) but you’ll soon get used to it !
