Kosi Bay and Community Project Work begins

Expedition leader, Tom, reports from Kosi Bay:

Progress at the school has been outstanding. All worked like Trojans to scrub, scrape and generally clear the hall inside and out. After only a day the outside has had two coats and the windows have been sanded back and under coated. The building is bigger than originally thought and we will need more paint, I proposed we use the money originally earmarked for the Zulu village (not up and running) to buy enough paint to finish the job in full, this was met with a unanimous 'YES' vote. We finished at three and took a leisurely stroll to the estuary mouth to wash off some of the paint and admire the view (see our photo below). Spag Bol for supper and an early night. Tomorrow we begin the teaching phase in conjunction with continued renovations. I think the whole team have now had a chance to reflect on how lucky their own school life has been. There were some upset tummies for 12 hours or so following the Pongola River phase but other than that all is well in Kosi. - Tom
