Harrow: Malawi 2011: July 2011
http://harrowmalawi2011.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Day 12 - A Race to the End. Typically the first few pieces of zinc took longer than expected to go up and by 10am the estimated time of completion was about midnight! It is amazing to think that so much was achieved in such a short time. There were definitely times when it seemed impossible to complete, but nevertheless, after only 11 days the building in virtually complete and everyone is very proud of the completed building. Day 11 – Six more trusses and a little zinc. Day 10 - Seven Trusses. By the en...

Harrow: Malawi 2011: Day 4 - Going Up!
http://harrowmalawi2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/day-4-going-up.html
Day 4 - Going Up! The day started 30 minutes earlier again today as the boys attempted to make best use of the daylight, requiring a 7.30am departure. Work began immediately that everyone arrived on site, with the various teams of boys dividing themselves up quickly and getting on with the tasks at hand. Everything appeared to be going very smoothly and there was a push to complete the floor by lunchtime; this was until the pile of gravel rapidly disappeared until finally the concreting had to stop at.

Harrow: Malawi 2011: Day 6 - Bricks, Bricks and more Bricks
http://harrowmalawi2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/day-6-going-up.html
Day 6 - Bricks, Bricks and more Bricks. Whilst the bricks were being laid, the final trusses also took shape. The team responsible for this were able to complete the job in just two days, not the three that had been allocated for it. These are now ready and waiting for the columns to be completed; the boys are already asking how these massive structures are going to be lifted up. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The first map shows whereabouts in Africa the project will be taking place. (Each red square is detailed in the mpa below.). This third map shows exactly where in Malawi the different elements of the trip will be taking place. To give some sense of the scale of this map Lake Chilwa is about 20 miles across. The foundations are being dug ahead of our arrival on July 9th. Please have a look at the photo gallery to see the progress that has been made. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Day 5 - Back on Track. Apologies for the delay in posting this – the power up on the mountain has been going on and off incessantly and although we have a huge backup generator the next link in the internet chain doesn’t.

Harrow: Malawi 2011: Day 10 - Seven Trusses
http://harrowmalawi2011.blogspot.com/2011/07/day-10-trusses.html
Day 10 - Seven Trusses. One question had been on everyone’s minds since the project began, “How would the trusses be lifted into place? A little bit of brute force and intelligence went a long way and the truss was where it needed to be. After this lunch was taken and upon return everything was done that bit more carefully; everyone had their jobs, knew what they were doing and the potential problems were known. Nearing completion and still on time! Keep up the good work those children deserve it! It mus...
