Day 3

Woke up legs hurt a Little bit but not too bad. had a breakfast and the went on a short walk to meet a lady who made candles for a living. It involved tieing up some string with loops at the end and then hanging them from a metal frame. when the frame was complete it was lowered into the vat of molten wax. this was repeated several time until the candle was thick enough it was then quenched in water. The candles were then cut to size and stored. whilst helping to made the candles, some children came to the window of the school which overlooked the small group of shacks where we were working. We then had a conversation which involved shouting across the land very loudly. after purchasing some of the candles we walk back to the center in Tagatay. we then met the others who had gone to make some items out of bamboo, this sounded much harder than our task. after lunch there was time for a short rest then we went in a jepeny to a slum where we were met by a small party. this slowly grew and grew as the children came home from school. Sheena gave medical advice to the mothers, whilst Davide and Issac were instrumental in organising games. Skipping and duck duck goose were a favourites with the younger ones, whilst the adolescence favoured Frisbee. we left and came back for dinner and Mass. Legs felt alot better after exercises. Although fell over playing duck duck goose and severely grazed and cut my leg. It was very painful and difficult to clean. however now feel OK, legs slightly stings but very little ache.
