Yesterday afternoon the rest of the group from COTR arrived in Battambang. Sean, curtis, Andrea and Kim are going north to Sisaphon this morning. Charlie, Tom and Scott will be staying for the leadership conference being held at the transformation center compound.
Work continues on the project. The remainder of the footings are poured. There are 8 guys on the job. None of them speak english. They work on Cambodian time, using time honored techniques. In other words, slow and steady. Their daily wage is $5.00, although the boss will distribute the pay as he sees fit. 1 for you, 2 for me.
We are starting to get into the bricks. The bricks go into the hole up to ground level and are set with mortar. The space inside the bricks is filled with mortar also. During lunch we had a brief downpour. The boys are back from lunch bending and tying more rebar. 
We should be above ground tomorrow.
