It was the second hour of darkness but no one was at the table. The only explanation I can find for it is that work makes you feel blessed. If you are in Estonia and there is -17 degrees then it’s hard to understand it. But here the life with no routine seems too beautiful. I remember that when we first came here with Laura, I felt the same. I just couldn’t wait until I could do something. 3 days to get adapted was a long time and when just a week before coming back to Estonia, we got the interior painted, we had no words to express our satisfaction.
In the morning everybody had their own work. The movie makers were filming the schoolhouse, builders were looking for building materials. Looking for building materials here equals to………
It’s so wearying that by lunch i was so tired that i couldn’t even talk. But the recovery was fast so by dinner we had cleaned the walls from open clay, we fixed the holes on the road which were full of trash. We also finished painting the main gate and we got good material for the film which could be called “To give from your abundance”.
The most active part is yet to come. The mixture of clay which we used to fix the walls is mixed by locals. Ethiopians are not like Estonians so they don’t worry or rush. This is one of our study guides we should take back with us because things don’t remain undone here. Just their nerves are not damaged. They have a huge advantage by having more sun.
