On Tuesday we are expecting 10 campers, so we have to get our campsite ready. Which campsite? Well, the one that we are flatting out right now! Some men from the village have come to help to flatten the space for 10 tents. Meanwhile, we are busy "repairing" the toilet and shower - the heavy stormwinds from last week have taken some of the thatching down. The toilet got some new walls now, and finally, a roof! The women from the village are still busy making bricks up at the hilltop. We try to clean up the whole place and make it look nice for our guests. If they like the place, we have reached a milestone! It is vitally important that some guests spread good words about Sobonana Lodge.
Our translator, a 21-year old girl named Babalwa, has been working with us for 3 weeks now and is doing well so far. It's great to finally be able to speak to the villagers and have someone translate all the little messages!
On Saturday Mike from the USA has arrived here, he will volunteer for the project for about 4 weeks.
