building a kitchen for the school
A couple weeks ago we (Shenda and I) helped make some bricks for the school's new kitchen (and by I mean helped I mean we made like 5 bricks each and I took tons of pictures). They dig a big pit to loosen up some dirt, poor water in, and stomp around in it to make some mud. Then, the wheelborrow it over and put it into a rectangle wooden mold (you have to keep the mold wet with water so it doesn't stick though). When you lift the mold up, you have a wet brick! After a few days of leaving it to cook in the sun, you dig another pit and make more mud to use as mortar. Put them all together and you have yourself a handy dandy new house/kitchen/bathroom/chicken coop...whatever you want walls for, that's how you make 'em.
