Habitat for Humanity World Work Day


Rice Paddy Farm

Walking to the work site

Firewood for cooking and bamboo for building

Woodshed

A goat's house

Thatched walls is all you need here

Despite the mud, the houses and porches are clean

River rock keep paths less muddy

Habitat Site for Mrs. Dawi

Task one: Bend ribar for the cement foundation

Task 2: dig trenches for foundation 25 cm deep

Task 3: Cut wire in 1 m lengths for ribar (sic)

Task 4: Put river rocks in trenches and then dump in cement.

Task 5: Wrap wire to make ribar for cement foundation

Task 6: My personal favorite; break rocks up. No one but this master had any luck.
Task 7: No..this is my personal favorite: Mixing cement! We actually just hauled it in buckets. No takers!

Break time for Indonesian Habitat workers

Grateful future homeowner in just 3 weeks

Tired but happy farewell

 Indonesian Business College and JIS students worked together

Happy Sentul villagers watched us work. Comedic entertainment.

Another villager watching the work. We were very entertaining.

The only way to get around quickly by weaving in and around cars on both sides, with whole families on board.

People here are rich in family and community.

Wet rice farm: very skilled labor intensive: 4 crops a year
