Flexibility

MCC told us in our initial interview that flexibility is a key attribute they look for when placing individuals. Sure enough, as of this week John & I are the head of two building teams that have come from Canada to help get this campus ready for two one week summer camps that are being run for orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs). Today I was working with a painting crew while John was doing a bit of construction demolition. John is also in charge of the team that is going to be building the climbing wall. There doesn’t seem to be a real plan on paper for the design of the climbing wall, only that it needs to be 6 metres high. I guess he could have left his business suit and ties at home!
(John) I know that before I left Winnipeg, I had only a vague idea of the job I would be doing. I joked that if I was handed a shovel, I would gladly shovel. Someone forgot to tell Chuck that I was only joking, because my first official duty with C4L was to shovel. I now believe I am a prophet. But seriously, I am having a good time working with the volunteers from Canada, and we are going to get the camp in good shape before the kids show up.
