Initial Workings

After many hours spent in the studio and online, trying desperately to get a coherently structured and logical plan of action together we finally made a return to Slovo. We arrived in the early afternoon with little direction and a with many unknown unknowns regarding the planned build for the week but our attitude was – and still is – that we take it as it comes.

Mohau advised that the build overlap with concurrent Community Work Programme (CWP) clean-up projects led by Lerato and that they start digging the foundation holes for the gum pole columns in preparation for the build on Mandela Day. We were hesitant to proceed because many students would be away for this day but we took a chance and agreed to go ahead. So with spraypaint and stones we marked out the site and made our way back home to try and rally some more support and materials for the upcoming build.
