Sunday May 24th 2009 I quickly returned from the church service in my friends village of Agou to see that the work had yet to begin but they had solved the issue of the location. In turn the first spots we had located to construct the building were no longer possible due to the future enlargement of the road. Therefore a deal was made and a location was purchased which placed the future hall closer to the center of town. In turn this location was more idea since many people pass by that part of town and it is close to restaurants and bars for refreshments. So I was happy to see that we could start with the construction.
Meetings were held by the association in my absence since I was in a training seminar the previous week. In that, information was filtered again through the community on the plan and objective of the hall as well as the call for support and assistance. The cement had also arrived and the guys were ready to start constructing the bricks for the foundation. Other members of the team also transported the sand to be used in the brick construction. So it seemed like all was in place to start the creation of the exhibition hall. If only the rains would come to chase away the heat.
Today was also one of the hottest days of the year and though the workers seemed pressed to start I was sure that it was going to wait till Tuesday. Since Monday is market day and there is too much traffic, it would have disturbed the transport of materials to the work site. Therefore the rains came in on Sunday to calm the heat and we prepped to start work on Tuesday.
