After freshening
up and having breakfast, we started work on the room.
For the
whole of our morning and early afternoon, our members worked like bees to
plaster the wall with occasional help from the coordinators of our trip. Not
wanting to leave Nepal
with work undone, we worked hard to make up for time. It was tiring, but we
were determined to help out the school.
Tired from a day's work. |
At the
small village, we saw chickens and many small houses of the same design. Once
we reached the house we were meant to visit, we were explained about the
Nepalese culture and way of life in the village. Thank you to Guiju who took
the work of interpretation for the guide. The Nepalese had a very different way
of life compared to us, and it was interesting to know how things get done
around the village. Finally, we took turns to enter the house and look around.
The ceiling was low, but the interior was very well-furnished and looked
beautiful and exotic.
Following
which, we helped out to cultivate a small farm with beans. We first had to rake
the soil and remove the weeds. Many of us got down to all fours to increase
efficiency in removing the weeds. Sad to say, we were inexperienced and even
the young kids taught us a few tricks to better work in the farm. Nevertheless,
we give what we could, and slowly the soil was loosen enough for plantation. We
took turns to plant the beans and were grateful to the villagers who guided and
helped us along the way. Hopefully, the beans will grow out and not let our
work go to waste.
It was a
long day of physical work. We learnt a lot about the villagers' life and even
had a chance to try farming. Nonetheless, it was time to end the day, as we
head to our new hotel to rest. Of course before that, we had another round of
games planned by the Programmers and PnP.
Finally ending day 6 in a nice hotel.
