July 8, 2012 | Baking Bricks

Right now I'm sitting on the ground at camp. Some people are filling out leadership training packets and others are preparing lunch. I just returned from gathering bricks by the river with the other women on my team. We learned how they were made - formed with wooden molds and baked in the sun. We helped stack bricks into the donkey cart and made the trek back to camp.

The experience is indescribable. And it's pretty amazing how quickly you become familiar and feel at ease. The river we saw is the second largest in Zimbabwe. It's dry season now though (it's winter) so there was not much water. We saw monkeys and taught tic-tac-toe to some of the children. They only speak Shona so it was an enjoyable challenge.
