1.2.    Implementation of the project
The team arrived safely with all the luggage. Only one girl was vomiting it was not that bad. We spent a night at Kalyangile guest house. The following morning we drove to Mkushi. It was a good safe drive. Construction work went well. Everyone was excited to be involved in a project that would change people’s lives forever.
