My House

My house is located on the plot of land where the two families on my team live. It measures 24 ' (7 m)  X 14' (4 m), has two rooms and is built of cement blocks with a tin roof. My colleague Daniel oversaw the construction of the house and did a lot of the work himself, with the help of several local hired men. What a joy and privilege to have this house to call home!

Front of the house during the rainy season last fall--nothing green left now!
