Good day

This was my third day in KwaThema, exactly a week since my first visit. We met early in the morning and drove straight to the library to meet the volunteers that would be helping us at the beerhall site.

Today was a very good day for me because we started to work out the issue of how we can work out some of the details of our intervention ideas and how we could possibly get them to work. This for me is interesting because the interventions that we do design will soon be built by us and I really started getting excited for the project. I can’t wait to get building!

I met Mr Cindi and Stan for the first time today- what good guys! They are so friendly and so willing to offer their help to the project. I am completely overwhelmed by the willingness of the community to get involved in the project- I think this says a lot about the success of the project. I feel that if there is community involvement from the beginning the community will take ownership of whatever comes out of the structure and will look after it in the future.
