making machine. Bricks are turned out one at a time.
4. Dirt from the termite hill is hand mixed with small amounts of cement
and water.

the new latrine is completed. The walls of the latrine will be lined with

Today it stands alone on the land but soon it will be surrounded by the
other structures that will comprise the Family Resource Center.
9. Termite hills dot the land. Volunteers shovel the dirt from the hill and
transport it to the building site where it will become the primary
component used to make the bricks that will be used to construct the
many building.
10. Water is trekked the short distance from the well to the worksite.
11. Water used to prepare the cement mixture and to water the many trees is
collected from the newly completed well.
12. Volunteers enjoyed the very dirty task of unloading the dirt collected
from the termite hill at the work site. This dirt becomes the primary
ingredient in the brick making mixture. It is free and plentiful!
