The next period of no-blogging

Tomorrow we are headed back to the plantation to finish the project. And once again I will be in the middle of the Cambodian Jungle with no way of updating you guys on my trip. So, let me leave yuo with a few thoughts and an outlne of what we have left to do.
The walls will be tackled simoultaneously as the windows and doors. It will probably take us two days.
After the walls are up, and we can official say that the school is done we will begin the process of clearing the area around it, and marking it with a fence. The fence will be comprised of meter high cement pillars, spaced thirty meters apart. Its function is not so much to keep people out, but to mark the schools land so that people don't try to sell it. It has happened before.
While we are doing the fence, some of our helpers from the village will also be building an outside play area for the kids. It will be a pretty simple structure with a roof, and no walls. It will allow the kids to play in the shade.
In finale we will build two more things. A small Buddhist Shrine, which teh cheif of the village sees as a necessity, and a sign.

A couple thoughts:
- 2 more weeks! I will be home in just 2 weeks. I know it has been hard, but the three month Ben Broadbent drout is about to end! I can't wait!!!
- I am feeling better, much better. Of course I do have a feeling that my sickness is on a 36 hour cycle. Hopefully not...

Stay Golden, Ponyboy.
