Up! Up! And away…

March 9th at 9pm I will fly out and the mission will begin. As a case study for finishing my diploma at FAUP (Porto Architectural School), I've decided to volunteer and join A4A (Architects for Aid) in one of their humanitarian architecture projects. The projected on which I've been assigned is the construction of the LCCU (Lesotho Children Counseling Unit) centre in Lesotho. The building has been halted and an assessment, survey and new proposal and program will be drawn up in order that the building might finish to be built. Once this is completed a second trip will be organized and I'll be overseeing the building on site. The objective of this blog is to keep record of the work that is being done, both for the benefit of the members of A4A in London, FAUP to whom I'll also be reporting, my own record as well as friends and family that might want to know what I'm up to. Please comment on any post that you have an opinion, as this will undoubtedly help me in the completion of my thesis.

Staring at a blank wall…

Yesterday was a productive day having had teams from Micon and also Playpumps visit the site, but today I was left staring at a blank wall.

Just before I left the office yesterday I phoned Linakane and discovered that the assessor for the insurance company would visit the LCCU today. When I said I wanted to meet him he seemed anything but happy about it! So when I asked him at what time he was coming I assumed he would lie!

As he had told me 3pm I geared up for 2:30pm only to discover that his lie ran a lot deeper. 9:30am was when he took the guy there so of course I didn’t manage to meet him!

I’m annoyed by it not only for not having met the assessor but because I do not like to be taken as a fool!
