SITE - THE SITE (continued)

"Little by little, progress; despite the uncertainties. It has the" mouth ", a wall of mud bricks, color and texture, we want to touch, gently." Sylviane

"There will of course, expectations of material deliveries, young Senegalese who have come to work with the group and still can not, the problems of transportation to on site (a few kilometers from our place of accommodation), Didier activated in all directions, and time is running, the scrolls ... heat becomes every day more overwhelming, surprise: no mosquitoes! "Sylviane

" On site, you must learn to manage their efforts, learn technical moves, move the brick press force of arms, wielding the shovel, forget that we are tired, it's really hot and the dust sticks to the skin. "Here, I even feel like my makeup in the end is not important," said Lea. Yes, here, there are other priorities. And they all quickly realized, they say, each with his words here, most not in appearance. " Sylviane

" On seeing the site back, I guess if the morning was good or not: the faces expressed satisfaction, dissatisfaction or fear of not achieving the goal. Despite all these difficulties, I've never seen any sign of neglect, the motivation of each of them was real and the determination to succeed, I believe, the group maintained a positive momentum. While keeping their respective personalities, each has ignored itself to support the project and the quality of the atmosphere: no aggressive or derogatory word was pronounced. Ladies, Gentlemen, hats off! I've known others who have fallen for less than that, especially since the second week, you agreed to return to the site in late afternoon ... " Sylviane

"After all the difficulties and suffering, we finally did what we were preparing for months for children from kindergarten. "Guilhem

" Every second was a life lesson. There, I discovered another world, a new way of living, thinking, working. " Mathias

" This kind of trip is an educational tool box. In 15 days I learned more than a long time in high school. This trip was a shock, and it helped me find myself as I really am. "Mathias

Today, the quality of construction has prompted the desire to continue building the wall to the roof. This will be a second phase of work, probably in November 2007, which will be financed by the association ADJA, Didier to travel to Senegal at that time.
