Sorry you had to get some of the ignorant comments 🙄. Thats pretty nice tho. What exactly is a foreman?
A foreman is the boss on a build site. I get orders from the orphanage owner and the designer and I make it all happen.
Day to day roles are hiring workers, keeping them in check, negotiating prices, going to the market to buy materials (it's like mos eisley there), paying my workers and then reporting back. It's a lot of planning and stuff and not too much actual labour but I find it fun but it's a very hard job and a lot of responsibility. If one thing forgets up, I gotta create a backup plan otherwise more stuff forgets up. It's been a long journey so far but should be done in a week.
How does it feel to be "That white guy"
I've started to learn the local language so it's not too bad. If I see white people in the street you usually give them a mutual nod. Everyone is nice to white people and treat us very well. They know we are there to help.
Don't drink the water.
Thanks bear grylls but I think I'll be okay.
How good is that Malawi internet connection
Depends where you are. Theres lots of cell towers everywhere and I just use data bundles on my Malawian phone number. It's 1gb for £2. Theres no 4G but the 3G is as fast as home (In response to jumbo muffin on this post, i arrived a month ago)
All this talk of racism is just stuff posting. It's blockland forums. These richardbags are gonna be playing their low-tier stuffty humour.
Going to try and get the orphanage finished this week, hopefully then I can move onto other things. Having a great time so far. Also I'm in East Africa which does not have Ebola.
