This is the before shot of the roundovale. Check out the dryer in the back right corner as a reference. This pile was about eye level. I would say that we got about 20% of the way through the roundovale. A roundovale is a traditional African building. They are normally round. This roundovale is very big, probably about 40' across (or 13 meters if your here). It at one time served as youth room, with computers for school, a pool table and a small lounge area. Our goal is to return it to its former glory. It has since become a catch all for everything. This is one of two buildings on the site that is not a place where kids sleep, so it has become a storage room. The second storage room is much smaller and is already pretty filled with clothes. Hopefully once we go through and organize the clothes they will fit in there.
As you can probably imagine we were wondering what kind of critters we would see in here. We found rats, baby rats, lots of rat feces, spiders, roaches, and silver fish.
The mattress that are not used at the orphanage will be donated to others in the township. Alot of what we came across were clothes and toys. The clothes are being put into the other storage building were the will start to washed and put away. We will keep you posted on our progress, back tomorrow for day two.
