I know I came here to teach but as expected there is always something to do. After a nice dinner the Italians that are working in the orphanage not only seemed very nice as they looked they could use a hand, so I ofered to help out with their fence building.
Basically they are clearing the field and collecting all the things they find in order to clear a path for a fence. The orphanage is now sort of open to anyone and not all visitors are friendly or welcome. The collecting implies clearing bushes and picking up all sorts of garbage.
The stuff is then put into different piles: garbage goes in the bags (there is a minimum of 10 bags each day), wood goes to the orphanage's oven, bamboo to another worker, bushes, leaves etc go to a field to make a compost for the soil.
Me and the Italian now have a gabage competition. The ones that finds the most discusting or strange item wins. So far we are 1-1. Yes, we wear gloves...
